And favorite bass players? Got 'em right <a href="http://www.casperbass.com/essentials.html">here</a>! Well, mine, at least. 40354@blogcritics.org Thu, 29 Jan 2004 13:18:09 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/01/29/031850.php#comment-40320 gees, i'd totally forgotten about Kai Eckhardt. i've got a great recording of him playing live with John McLaughlin in that sort-Shakti group. casper, we need a favorite bass players post. maybe it can complete with those crazy guitarist posts that never seem to die. ...which makes me wonder what the "Where's ****"?!" blurt will be. "Where's Lemmy?!!"? 40320@blogcritics.org Thu, 29 Jan 2004 10:03:09 EST
