I had a long day of flying and didn’t get home to well after midnight, but I’ve been sifting thru the threads and haven’t seen any mention of BP playing. This is one CEO that can use his products!

The Friday night event started with BP playing “Biffs Blues in A” (which was actually in E, Tommyindelaware can explain it better) on bass. It’s more than safe to say that BP is one funky mother! Later that night there was some great gitar pick’n, go go dancing, drinking and fun had by all. *partiers note, don’t try this at home BP is a professional*

Saturday night’s concert was amazing and I’m talking about BP. There he was on stage with true legends, kicking ass all the way. My favorite thing of the whole night was BP playing a … I guess it was a baritone guitar? I heard this funky bass riff going on, Tony Levin was standing there just holding his bass, and I was hearing BP. Then when he played in a higher register on that instrument it blew away every Telecaster I’ve ever heard, twangy, funky, sort of clavinet like except with big balls! (BP I want one of those, can I get a lefty and lessons? Tuesday’s good with you?)

To sum up this rambling post, BP is one hell of a player and I think that is probably what keeps the quality control to an exacting standard that we have come to expect from a EBMM product. A player knows a great instrument, ain’t nothing getting past BP.


(…it’s still dream like.) :D

You're dead-on right about BP's playing ability! I was floored with that first jam song. I looked over at Mike (TNT) when he started laying down the bass line, and we were just...well, in shock!

A funky MF that BP!

That was some world class playing by BP. A unique sound and approach that fit right in with the best guitarists in the world Saturday night. I hope we get to see all that on video.

One of the best music moments was BP and his left hand over the fretboard playing. Sweet single line stuff with great feel to compliment the finger picking motha that he is. Though he claims to be a bass player, he does it all.

Anyone see Luke on da drums?

Thanks guys for the kind words....I really love playing and only get to play live a little to to biz...the last gig was at evan s wedding last march.

I thank the other "cats" on stage that indulged me...and a bigger thanks to John Ferraro
who taught me how to play bass. And I mean not the notes but how to fit in. John is so underrated it makes me sad. We go back to seventh grade. He has been there for me.

BP's solo on the Silo bass was unreal Saturday night. You could tell that the other players on stage were impressed as well. Steve Morse had an ear to ear grin going on. Very cool.

After seeing dudley with the Albert most of the night this exchange took place.

KEITH "Looks like you really like the ALBERT."

DUDLEY "I like all of them."

:D
