      He worked with Jerry Garcia and there’s no way any dead head worth his salt doesn’t know this talent of a man 😎 check out their albums together

    I just love The respect that people of other countries have for all of us musicians. If you look At most American made videos. weather made from a public video or from a commercial Videographer, they never seem to be able to Video the entire groupl, but focus only on their favorite instrument.. Usually guitar and usually singer But they usually leave out the drummer and leave out the bass player. But in this case the Japanese truly loved us and wanted to highlight our performance. For that I truly appreciate .

      That was so unexpected for me. We need more Japanese hippies tbh but respect great video and audio

    Miss that a whole bunch check out Tony Saunders his son is makin beautiful jazz playing bass Merle is the reason i wanted to slap on a B-3 and ultimately why I play keyboards now and Michael Warren is the reason I said well I wanna play bass too but if I could just touch these keys with a guy like that it might work out so much fun
