Hey there mate, your a sight for sore eyes! long time no see buddy...I have to admit that since the overwhelming insurgence of soundcloud blowins on Looperman my music and participation has dropped off somewhat , but mainly because I've been busy doing other things, such as moving to the country, the luthiery is going well, I've got two telecaster type guitars and a few more basses in the works, I've actually turned over a new leaf and have stopped bitching about HipHop punks in the forums! lol. I'll be concentrating on my music now and channelling the forces of niceness! haha...man at some point in the future we'll have to get together for a collab again, I have just about every bass tone on tap now! :)...great to see you again Bill! cheers Dave :)

Hey Joe, thanks man!..yeah I was arranging this to suit the impressions I had of James Jamerson and it never was meant to be a straight soul tune, though I did try and squeeze it into a soul cake tin, what came out of the oven was indeed a little weird! thanks for taking the time to listen mate...cheers Dave :)

Hey MrMofo thanks man!..it's always a dilemma on how long to make a track, I usually always think in terms of longer tracks (Lp's back in the day) but we've been conditioned to accept short tunes by the radio I guess..next time much longer for sure! haha...cheers mate Dave/PJB :)

Hey Lank, thanks for the listen buddy! it's always grooves within grooves for me, glad you enjoyed the tune man...much appreciated! cheers Dave/PJB :)

Hey thanks Kingmadi glad you enjoyed it man!..all the best Dave /PJB :)

Hey mate, thanks for the review buddy happy that you enjoyed the track!..hit me up anytime you'd like some bass work done on one of those old school gems you produce, all the best man. Dave :)

Hey Laurent, thank you very much appreciated!..glad you enjoyed the tune, I wasn't quite sure what genre to place it under but figured I go with the last half's general feeling...all the best Dave :)

Hey Static thanks for taking the time to listen....actually I expected a similar reaction to this piece as you've given, my whole aim here was an analogous take on JJ's life and not an actual motown style, having said that your comments are nonetheless accurate from your point of view obviously. My approach is tangential, no illegal sampling here! lol and I'd successfully defend that in a court of law (if they actually exist) the listener is encouraged to imagine walking past a radio or studio hallway and briefly hearing a snippet of the music he was involved with, follow on the tune describes JJ's early career where things seemed twinkling and great, then an attitude of disgruntlement, lack of recognition and alcohol abuse ensued (horns) leading to his eventual untimely death (47) illuminated somewhat with the recognition of his contributions (flugel horn passage)...a conceptual piece bracketed by illegal sampling! lol and yes there's always room for improvement. brass vst's can be tricky...cheers mate I always like your reviews as their coming from an honest musician. Dave :)
