Oh man, I keep coming back to this piece, and I learn more each time. Got to hang with Will once surrounded by the other-best musicians, and I wish I'd have heard this when it happened, because that is where fusion was literally born. I'm wondering if it was a Hiram tribute? Loved him too. Real groove can be taxing & use up real energy, but even our love comes from that flaming nuclear star 🌟 right above us. Lol, sorry, the music touched me. Was great to see Ricky's solo and all the others, and thank you for creating this funk/music/love 💘 thing that picks everybody up.

I saw HB play guitar one night at Mickell’s with David Sanborn’s band. I’m pretty sure it was 1977. He sounded great with his beat up Strat and a Fender amp. The whole group was sensational. I also remember being impressed by Herb Bushler on electric bass. But you could tell that Sanborn was definitely a star in the making.

I so miss my friend. Babi Floyd was a very special person in my life. He was the kindest, most generous of souls that ever walked this earth. Taken from us way too soon. This was recorded after he was diagnosed with throat cancer and had gone through surgery. Which is why his voice sounds so rough. But the passion, the talent and the pure joy still shine through. I was so blessed to have known him and to have had him in my life. The world was a light, bright, positive place when Babi was in it. He really knew how to turn lemons into lemonade - always, no matter what. I've never known anyone like him.

I will neuer forget the first live-gig with Hiram, I heard. He played in the David Sanborn Group back in 1987. A phantastic gig with Hiram's outstanding guitar-playing. Later I heard him twice with his own group ... from another planet! Later I visited his website in order to check out his upcoming gigs and found out, that he had passed away. What a huge loss! May he rest in peace. ❤

"Holiday Inn-style" is a bit harsh, but no, Paul was not in the same league as the other guys--nor did he pretend to be. But his encyclopedic knowledge of music, and ability to play just about anything by ear, along with his comedic/sidekick skills made him an asset to the show.

I remember the very 1st time going to Mikells on a Tuesday night open mic with Gordon Edwards ... all kinds of every body were there ... all kinds of baddest musicians playing .... And I got up there just to play one of my favorite STUFF tunes , “Reflection Of Divine Love” on this old Gretch Guitaf I always had & played this’s days ... but just before , I was so intimidated because of all the great guys that were playing that night .... But I figured, lemme just get up there & just play & just enjoy myself ... just acting like I was just playing in my room or something .... Right about before the 1st or 2nd turn around in the song, Gordon Edwards just got up from the bar where he was sitting having a drink , and just turned his back & stopped the music ..... I was almost afraid but as I looked at everybody’s expressions .... and just watched him put a paper in my pocket ... He just yelled out .... call me ... and when you call just say “, The Guitarist that I like “ .. lol 🤗 Every body laughed .. And I just went back to playing and finishing the sing off with a more relaxed joy .... lol🤗 (But I just learned a bit better that lesson , of letting one’s little light shine no matter how great others are surrounding around you .... Just play your heart’s joy ... just for the joy you get out of it ... with no ego ... Just Let Your Joy Flow ... and be natural ... ) Joy will never mislead you if you just REJOICE in your labor & groove ... with no ego .... just ENJOY Yourself 🤗🙏🏽👍🏽 And though he was the smallest , Rudolf The Red Nose saved the day 🤗....

Hmm. That's two videos I've seen now where Lew changes mouthpieces midstream in the middle of a solo. He sounded fine to me on the first mouthpiece. I wonder where that came from. Was that a parduba double cup he switched to or something? Interesting.

As a bass player both of these guys are among my biggest influences. Yes there are many GREAT players out there but when it comes to the groove this a good as it gets. Both of these guys live it and play it. I've read interviews with both players and this what they preach. Darryl Jones said that this was the one of the main reasons he got the Rolling Stones gig.
