Why do the really good-sounding old upright pianos get burned up, and those newer, awful-sounding spinets don't? Nice song, BTW...! :-)

I can tell you've worked hard on this! Good job!

WOW! I am impressed!

@profilieify That's still a cello playing in the high (violin) range! The cello is one of the most versatile string instruments out there!

My, but they are good! :-)

I would have told Tina, "Suppertime!" or whatever it takes to "food-motivate" your bassett! ...which shouldn't bee too hard at all! haha

I was a school bus driver several years back, and watched as the same thing happened to one of the hockey players I drove to the game -- our families were at least acquaintances, which made it all the more difficult for me to see. It was just one of those freak accidents. My friend made not only ...

1) As a truck driver myself, that is one scary video!;

2) He was probably empty;

3) He could not have slowed down much more than he already had!;

4) I had a model train layout under the tree when my oldest was 3 years old. He had never seen my HO gauge trains before (I only got out the "junky" on...

Hahaha! Nice ending! :-)

@kingkultan2k11 Typically, coal drags are slow-moving affairs, compared to hotshot freights, especially in the steam era. Granted, it's not uncommon to see modern coal trains moving at 65mph now...

I would love to see the camera facing forward on these trains -- a "caboose-eye view" if you will! Nice layout!

Nice to look at, lots to run.

Now that is my idea of FUN!

(Rhyme intended)

Looks like they're having an awful lot of fun up there! :-)

@loobycliff To me, the bass (upright or electric) is a very physical instrument; I tend to play with a certain amount of flair myself -- although not nearly as well as one of the founders of modern bass technique (Jaco Pastorius being the other). I say, "Do what it takes to get the results you wa...

Just as good live as on the record! :-)

I had forgotten what a master Tony Williams was on those drums! Not to mention the rest of the performers on this gig! What a great album!

I would blast this song out of my dorm window, featuring my 150-watt MusicMan bass amp with 15" speaker (I didn't have a good stereo at the time). I got tired of all the '80's CRAP played all the other days of the year, so I "rebelled" at the end of the year. NO ONE could compete with the earth...

This, unfortunately, stands as my only Stanley Clarke album. But what an impression it made on me as a college freshman in 1981! This cut alone stands as my all-time favorite bass solo. So clean! So aggressive! Such a defining moment for stand-up bass! O, that I could play my upright like t...
