Feeling good.

[lordofthesynth]

I think I've slipped into a Zen state regarding my life--watching things unfold, making subtle adjustments, not letting crap get to me...well, maybe. Still feeling good.

But, since I haven't done it in a few weeks, a song--a Muddy Waters tune covered by the Graham Bond Organisation. A highly underrated band. All of the influential keyboardists coming out of Britain in the 1960s cite Graham Bond as a major influence. Graham's raspy voice didn't go over well in 1965, but you only have to fast forward to 1970 to see an equally raspy-voiced Rod Stewart getting acclaim. Jack Bruce on bass, Ginger Baker on drums, and Dick Heckstall-Smith on saxophone (a very underrated player). Usually, only funk makes me dance in my chair. GBO at least makes me bop back and forth.
