Eric - you're an inspiration!

@TheTourlous Well put! I totally agree!

Carol is the glue here! She's playing the bass like a bass, not like a guitar. Without her, this would just sound like two guys noodling around. She's got grace, real talent, and humilty. A thousand thumbs up for the queen of bass. (and jazz guitar too for those that don't know!)
