Every so often when I want to watch a musical performance to really lift my spirits, I watch Tal Wilkenfeld playing with Jeff Beck at her ripe old age of 21.
I saw her get on stage for a couple of songs not long after this at a Gov't Mule show. Needless to say I was blown away.
Great bass players are badass and Tal takes the badassery to another level.

Besides some fairly OK members of the original (or near original) Jeff Beck Group (Rod Stewart, Ron Wood (a Stone's guitarist--on bass!) Nicki Hopkins, and Ansley Dumber (who was neck and neck in the running to be the original drummer for Jimi), with studio members, Jimmy Page, Jon Paul Jones and Keith Moon), Taj is my favorite "side kick"--not only for her playing but in watching her joy of playing. _________________ "A metronome keeps time by using a Ringo"

Having seen her play and also discuss music in various interviews, that joy is genuine. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

One of the best tunes ever written.
Agree. It's funny, Motown music is something I've just taken for granted since I was a kid. For the longest time, it wasn't particularly moving. It was just...there. During car rides my parents would tune to K-EARTH 101 and one of these songs came on. I knew every word, I had an idea what the emotional content was supposed to be, but I hadn't yet been given the ability to feel it. Well, what a great time for that to change.
February, 1996. It's your last few weeks in the 8th grade. It's saturday, and your friend has to come with his dad to Sylmar for some business, he brings you along. On the way home, you guys stop at Sherman Oaks Galleria to use the bathroom. While inside Robinsons May, your friend goes nuts and starts nudging you really hard in the ribs to look at some older chick in the luggage section. You have no idea who she is and don't care. He runs to her and says "a-are you Gwen Stefani?"
She looks at you both for a second, but then parts her dark red-painted lips to destroy you with the brightest smile, and says "Yeah, hi what's your name?" At this point, everything goes foggy. She shakes your horny, slightly older friend's hand as he stammers out some sycophantic crap which makes her laugh. Frozen, you watch yourself extend your own chubby, proto-pubescent hand...she grabs it, and it's at that instant you're overtaken by the sweetest, cleanest, girliest, most heavenly perfume or shampoo that you've ever smelled in your life.
Is it a coincidence that your voice deepened and you became 3 inches taller by the start of freshman year? Maybe. Maybe it was just time. Maybe it was Gwen. It was Gwen. _________________ http://chickhearn.ytmnd.com/
This is so random, but one of the original members of Bread just started following me on twitter. Robb Royer - he co-wrote "For All We Know" which won an Oscar and the Carpenters covered it.
Ya gotta take in the little joys where you can this year. lol
Merry Christmas Eve!
Edited: I just figured out why he followed me. Will post it in the Politics thread.
