Oh my gosh, I love this version of "One" by Mary and U2! I've been playing it over and over and over. I never did quite get into the song when it was originally released, but when I hear it now, it's smokin'! The first time around, I was only 18 and now... it's many years later. Maybe time has something to do with it.
Meanwhile, I'm searching out other bassists, and I've started cheating on Nigel Griggs with Adam Clayton. Funny how my tastes tend not to be the chop-meisters but more subdued players. Maybe I like players who are musical glue and act like it.
Meanwhile on a board I saw someone who was in no way disrespecting Griggs comment that few would call him a musical hero. Well, maybe not, but he is one to me, and that makes me want to write back and say exactly why and how in a manner in more depth than I ever told the man himself. My friend Alana challenges me that if I do it, I should cross-post it to her music website. Yet again, it's put up or shut up time.
