michael bass it sure is. When I was in my 20’s, I was still in that overhyped, overplaying, full of energy mode from playing covers of fusion & hard rock. My mentor suggested I audition for some country gigs. Wow, I learned real quick what I was doing and how to appreciate simplicity. I ended up playing a few gigs and it inspired me to rethink my whole approach to the bass.

His bass line in James Taylor's "you've got a friend" spoke to me immediately. It is magical. We had a wonderful conversation regarding that! He's a fabulous bass player and an even better person.

Guitar players absolutely amaze me. I've been playing drums since 1964 and when rehearsing/performing I'll focus in on either bassist or six string guy and see if I can understand how playing guitar is done, I can't imagine how those ten fingers know what to do. It's all very abstract to me...never could make sense of what the logic is that accounts for the many variations and configurations that make one a guitarist. When I brought this up during our warming up minutes some time back, my guitarist said that he and the bassist couldn't figure out how drummers can do what they do when having to work all four limb, each doing a different thing in different time. I guess we are all hardwired as kids to survey the instrument world and rather quickly, one stands out and yells, "Hey, it's me...you were born to play me, me, me!" There must be something to this because the first time I sat at a kit, I just started playing a typical high-hat, snare 4/4 groove based upon what I saw Ringo playing on Ed Sullivan while kicking the bass out of pure instinct because I did not consciously know what I was doing. I thought, well this is it and drums will sure be a far better enterprise than taking years of piano or violin lessons and still sounding like a putz. By the way, young lady, you own the bass

I've been a fan of Lee's since about 1971 when I got my first 2 James Taylor albums (Sweet Baby James and Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon. ), but when In the pocket came out, Mexico in particular, I learned to listen to James' music focusing on Lee's bass part. it was always complimentary, supporting the rune, but would often be a counter melody, perfectly mixed, and often on a path of its own. Almost comical at times seeing James sing a very mellow tune, but at times Lee ripping off some otherwise almost unnoticeable riffs.

Hi, Julia, I have been watching (and re-watching) several your videos today and wanted to comment that, like many musicians, you have the amazing ability to enter what I like to call "the zone" during some of your playing--on this video especially. I had the honor of watching Duane Allman while standing on the side of the stage at a concert where my band was their opening act in 1972. I was almost transported with him while experiencing his ability to enter that "zone" that some musicians are able to find. It is obvious in both your expressions and body language; like Duane and others, you seem to be transported to another dimension where the music is the envelope you inhabit. I don't know how to explain it any better, but I know it when I see it(?). A regret I have is that I received neither the music nor the appropriate finger length gene that seems to accompany it, but I have always "understood" music, if that makes any sense. I am practicing your "5 Easiest" from your video, which is about as far a I will probably get, but I have always enjoyed the instrument; your videos and playing are inspiring. Cheers!
