Roger came hustling up to me at NAMM and told me he spotted a sick jam session going on a couple booths over. We ran on over to check out the action and it was some really good stuff. So good, in fact, that I had to grab my bass and fill in the void of no bass player. The line up? Drums, bass, guitar and three organs.
By the time I set up, the funky vibes were finished, but at least I got to get a nice blues thing going…it’s been a while for me since I’ve played the blues and it was a PLEAAASSURREE.
These guys could really play and that made for a few great moments that I always look for in a good jam. Check out 1:15 for one of those moments when just for a few seconds, we all hooked up and played a tasty slow blues lick together, not because we planned it, but because it’s what we all wanted to hear. It’s moments like that…
Also, note that complete lack of expression on my face. That, ladies and gentleman, is what playing every single day at NAMM for his first time does to a 23 year old who didn’t practice as much as his teachers told him to.

His organ playing made me like jesus more
