I have been down on the music things for the past months, with declining business, fewer gigs, my advancing age, and more great musicians here.

Tonight I had a turnaround that felt really good. I attended a jam party session at a musician's home with lots of good players.

At the end, The (monster) bass player walked over to me and said, " I know a pro when I hear one." This guy was Patti LaBelle's bass player for years. He told me I should be playing with Stevie Wonder.

Damn, that made me feel good, and changed my attitude for at least a while.

Glad to hear that. Music is the "shit" as they used to say.

“Spank that plank!”
I’m stealing that one.

So cool to be told you should play with Wonder. No higher compliment.
