Funk me, this cat is good. I got here doing some research on unfamiliar names on the Byron Bay Bluesfest bill this year. Will definitely be in Maceo's tent when he passes the peas.
@JeromePreston mate, you're the reason I left the double bass... Also picked up singing after watching/listening to the 10 minute version of "Let's Get It On" from the "My First Name Is Maceo" - DVD.
Just saw a few big live concerts in my whole live and this was one of them (went to Van Morrison also that day). One of the best memories of my live, just a great evening with some of the best musicians around.
To JeromePreston: are you THE Jerome Preston who play in "My First Name Is Maceo" ?? Oh my Ho my ho my !!! I started playing bass after listening to this insane CD and "Shake Everything You Got" !!!! Ho my ho my !!
@JeromePreston: oh my god, is that really you Jerry? i saw you and the band about twenty times in Germany (Bochum very often, Dortmund..). i was the one who always told you you should sing and record an album. :lol:
You got me in without paying several times ;-)
Hope to see Fred in november
Indeed with you this was the funkiest thing in my life. When you and Pee Wee were gone, nothing was the same.
I can really say that you are my favorite bassplayer. So happy to meet you again. Have to pm you.
It must be torture to sweat it out on the instruments wearing suits and ties.
The music is fantastic! I had housework to do so I listened to Uptown Up and it got me in the groove. My house got cleaned and I got excercise groovin' to the beat as I cleaned up.

MASTERPIECE
100 dollars for you if you found just a single fail, mistake or any other sign of (non-probable) humanity on this group of BEASTS
It just can't be played better
Long live to Maceo!
