"Radical" Russ BelvilleOooeee! Gott damm, somebody playing all the bass in that stinger from SiriusXM! As a young player, I had no idea all the possible avenues there were for one to make a living doing this. Then I learned about session cats, like the Wrecking Crew or Toto, and so many others making, like, jingles! #AT40
It's fun jamming to old recordings that are slightly sharp or flat. Forces me to bend them strings, boy! It hurts my fingers, wah! Bend them strings? You wanna play the blues, boy? Bend them strings! #AT40
Mmm, Jerry Reed. Growing up latently funky in lily-white Nampa, Idaho, inundated with both kinds of music—Country *and* Western—I always loved hearing some Jerry Reed. What's that? Syncopation? Minor 7ths? Dare I say, a groove? Dad always leaned to the outlaw/rockabilly side of country. #AT40
I have never heard this "Cool Aid" song before. And now I know this song "Cool Aid". #AT40
As is this Nilsson song I don't know. I wonder if that was happenstance or if the #AT40 producers know to play bumper jingles in the same or relative key of the next song. Man, I hate it when deejays don't know that and you get some dissonant segue. Hey. That's a good band name!
BTW, "A... merican... Top 40!" is in the key of F. #AT40 #JamminTheJingles
And Yvonne Elliman was so tied to this Jesus Rock that she was off the charts until 1977 when the Bee Gees tapped her for the #1 "If I Can't Have You" from Saturday Night Fever. #AT40
Bass on. Jammin'. #AT40 What's Goin On!
