would love to hear this with the entire vocal group from the album "O Brother Where Art Thou", including Norman Blake, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Fayssoux Starling, Sam Phillips, Gillian Welch [and many, many others]

That's great. JPJ has always had a lovely feel and vibe with his music.
The looper is fun and he uses it well, but once you've made a little mistake, in this case catching a string when changing instruments, it keeps coming round again....and again...and again.
I have never met John, but everyone I know that has spent time with him say he is a lovely person.
Shine On
Michael

One of my great bass heroes. I still listen to the early Led Zeppelin albums and those YouTube clips of them live in ‘69, in awe at what he was doing. His feel was/is amazing.
I am impressed that he is still toting multineck instruments at his age!

I am impressed that he is still toting multineck instruments at his age! Pat, I started out as a bass player and Led Zeppelin's repertoire was a big part of what I used to play. As well as Page & Plant, John Bonham & John Paul Jones were a force to be reckoned with. I saw them many times back in the olden days. Shine On Michael |

It is a beautiful piece of music. I always think of it as a nod to the Beatles and JPJ's bass part is very McCartney. Shine On Michael ...or should that be Ramble On Michael |

PD & MM, many non-players can't tell bass from guit listening to a recording. on the other hand, live you can FEEL the difference in your chest: www.guitarworld.com/features/john-paul-jones-greatest-moments-with-led-zeppelinor imagine Cream without Jack Bruce. [methinks Sunshine Of Your Love played live would have been impossibly thin sounding for Clapton without Jack taking up the slack during the solo?]: another Jack that Hot Tuna would have missed sorely: and to MM's point. [PD-you know the wattage required for a bass to cut through. how did Paul keep a holllowbody Hofner from feeding back live?] rumor mill has it he picked Hofner 'cause it wouldn't look silly up side down: mitchfit PS-- not trying to detract from what a truly great engineer Geoff Emerick was, but the tape echo was a Les Paul brainstorm from the 1940's: thejhsshow.com/articles/ultimate-history-of-tape-echo |

Each brought their talents into the mix. I love Hot Tuna's music and again it's both of them bringing their ingredients into the soup. I am sure George Martin would have been aware of Les Paul's recording wizardry. George was BBC special effects and novelty records man, so he was bound to know about Les & Mary. I am sure that both George and Geoff would have credited Les Paul with that one. I met George Martin in 2001 and he was a delightful person to spend time with. We talked for some time and he was, to use an English term, charming. More bass talk! Shine On Michael |

I was a bass player in a band briefly and I spent hours figuring out the lines in this to learn from the best. The bass in the song remains the same is amazing. |

MM said, ". I am sure that both George and Geoff would have credited Les Paul with that one. "
that correction was for video content only. the echoplex began production in 1959, so the chances they were not aware is slim indeed.

Loved Poco's music and of course loved the Eagles from day one. I only saw them once, it was in London when Hotel California was just released and they were excellent.
Timothy B Schmit - masterful player.
Shine On
