Re: Snarky Puppy

if I was 25 years younger and in music school, I'd probably love them. Yes, you have a point. But then again, 25 years ago would be the last time music school actually made any sense. You may as well go to typewriter repair school now for the same number of opportunities when you graduate. :mrgreen...

Re: Steve Smith

I used to listen to Focus' "Moving Waves" trying to figure out Pierre van der Linden fills. I met him in person in 2005, when my band opened for Focus, an unforgettable day :P That must have been a treat! Did you speak to him at all? What setup was he using at the time? I just love his pl...

Re: Steve Smith

Now that he's using black dots, top and bottom, tuned pretty loose, it's just not right. But my problem with his latest record has more to do with the m...
