kshe95girl! Good call on Jean Lu-Ponty! He was the warmup act to Renaissance at Red Rocks in the Summer of 1977 and put out a great set. He has a varied career who has worked with a number of rock artists, most notably Frank Zappa.

Thanks, I am really glad I found this thread! I love all kinds of music, but this kind of stuff has my heart! Zappa was another one that defied pigeonholing! I often wonder what he would have thought about the state of music today, with RIAA (sp?) thing about filesharing and DRM's.... -but I digress-
I bet the RR concert was awesome, were you there?

I was; he covered material from the Aurora and the Imaginary Voyage LP's, released two years previous. I don't get to go to as many as when I lived in the Denver area for 35 plus years; still get over there once a year for a show. A great venue.
John Entwhistle was one of those bassists who played it effortlessly. He would stand on stage like a statue playing that bass and not move on stage at all; a pure professional. Other great bassmen include Bill Wyman (Rolling Stones), Stu Cook (Creedence Clearwater Revival), Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane), John Lodge (Moody Blues), Jimmy Kale (Guess Who), Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix Experience), Phil Lesh (Grateful Dead), Peter Quafe (Kinks), Les Holroyd (Barclay James Harvest), Greg Lake (ELP and King Crimson), Jack Bruce (Cream), Felix Pappalardi (Mountain), I believe Paul McCartney did too! Boatloads of other great ones out there!

You nailed it Double H! I've always loved a good bass line, and appreciated those who could play as you mentioned above. Thanks!
Is anyone familiar enough with Pat Metheny that can tell me what the oddball, necked instruments are that he plays?
I love his music, have seen him three times.
I majored in music, but I have NEVER encountered some of the instruments he plays......would love to know what the heck they are.........

That 40-something-stringed beast was custom-made just for him. I believe he calls it a Picasso guitar. Fitting enough.

Thank you! I still cant even wrap my head around the mechanics of the instrument. What a musician he is, I wonder how the Picasso even came into being......
