1. What was your best
memory of the 1960/70's music scene?
There were so many. Sitting in the studio and watching the Stones play
a shuffle comes to mind. Playing bass with an
extremely drunk Jimmy Reed. Hanging out at
Leon Russell’s studio at his house in L.A. and having the opportunity to see and hear
how music should be played from some of the best musicians on the planet. A million other memories from
back then.
