The sentiments were fine in themselves - I just wish they could have been <i>expressed</i> more finely, if you take my meaning!<br /><br />The bass stood out strongly for me too, though, and was really the most enjoyable part of the performance. I think I would be wise not to cherish such an ambition as actually wanting to play like that myself, due to my complete lack of aptitude for playing any instrument which even remotely resembles the guitar. But if I <i>did</i> aspire to play the electric bass, this performance certainly seems like it would be one I might want to emulate!Hrothgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03568010718085328982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-60955563755684105672020-03-27T23:15:46.675+00:002020-03-27T23:15:46.675+00:00Paul Wellers first two solo albums are fantastic!Paul Wellers first two solo albums are fantastic!ToTheRightRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007446934544325981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-1465797850580514932020-03-27T17:50:55.174+00:002020-03-27T17:50:55.174+00:00It's the bass of Bruce Foxton I especially lik...It's the bass of Bruce Foxton I especially like.
