What are they?
Magazines are expensive and the security guard in Smith's is prone to saying "Think this is a bleedin' library?".
Like they are trained to do.

... or 6X weekly (topshelf mag).
One of my favourite 'bass' albums is Weather Report's "Black Market".

Peggy has long loved the bass playing of Rick Danko of The Band. I am surprised he did not mention Leland Sklar from James Taylor's erstwhile (and still occasional) session band, "The Section"... Could be because Peggy has always wanted that gig himself!

You're only allowed 5 albums. But in a seperate article in the same mag, "Rare Grooves - great basslines in unexpected places" there is an examination of Leland Sklar's playing on Mud Slide Slim and his 1962 Jazz bass. |

Thanks Tony, and good selection Mr Pegg.Don't have Aretha's Jazz, but I love her to bits.The samples on Amazon for that album are a bit of a waste of time, but the reviews look promising.I'll have to check it out.

Can I just point out that Leland Sklar makes a mockery of Peggy's claim that the lower vibrations of the bass caused his hair loss...  |

Now if Peggy were to grow a beard as fine as Mr Sklar's : It is a magnificent beard, so you take about 1.5 seconds longer to notice he is bald.  And another second or so after that to remember how often he played with Phil Collins. And then you think, well, that doesn't matter because Only Fools and Horses was at its funniest when he was in it so fair play to him. |

We saw Paul Simon playing in Glasgow two weeks ago and the bassist was introduced as the man who played on Graceland. There was an extra large cheer for that.
