Ariane Cap's book "Music Theory for the Bass Player" is excellent and comes with links to related online content. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Music-Theory-Bass-Player-Hands/dp/0996727604/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2NQVR0V3CYR1Y&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6HYzjfmPf79XiznRE84T3Qa-73tfUIVRPJJD9_lhW4UvhO6TgcnmQp-RxzSq6x2ebK-EfuGr5Xaj9hlyGjiv3P-Rd7DfgJ5uFsuwjRcER7GEp88JNxPaowr6r-as4YHdb6ulvVxLDtsydyAWyjDXjakXJ1wlgXEQwgcehQU3eQMm9WqnkfdmR0EHqugpqSL22Rg_NyBPqttyIS9P3SMKZohcw4I8dybf_SJjLUMJyt0lL2hCo6-l7Df0h5CYigvOw25P0ytxThQJO0yXVok5kDhR5mGK1BobhlJFEXHEkag.mTBoYz2zRv-e2fDYNM_tObZqnFpG0W05C_e6i8TlyIw&dib_tag=se&keywords=ariane+cap&qid=1724767267&sprefix=ariane+cap%2Caps%2C85&sr=8-1

The footage from the Stax/Volt Revue in Norway in '67 is well worth chasing up (It's available on DVD). The director had obviously never heard of the 'keep the camera off the bassist' rule. Colourised sample of the concert on youtube as an example. I love the moment at the beginning when Dave Prater cracks Duck up.

In addition to "Standing in the Shadows.." you should also check out "Soul Fingers" which covers 'Duck' Dunn's life and has transcriptions of a variety of his bass lines. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soul-Fingers-Legendary-Bassist-Donald/dp/1495052923/ref=sr_1_1?crid=32KAAT4DT15O5&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6vKu8V2XOy75fg5LEVYdjyjbOO0LFp5dKQOpPTFpE_54tVz1dq3RttvHWeuwDb_GEGr4KcYNonMEzkBmaNqRWcD1OKw3J_TUWVvNJVjVXNSpOaS4mFTZRHSeDyNQ3zNjhnYOZbjPW79f_ojyqEi_QykKXv6qYfpF_7rHTPsJqnnCaRVZtz6HXHVQvj8ak4bvyBpp_saphS_GzxhEqR6C_5KxOpcHy-CZ9-qwmXM3MGw.0T2ZHP6XV-RL80gLIPzyYF3V2bKgB_5R3NNnON19eaI&dib_tag=se&keywords=duck+dunn&qid=1724670282&sprefix=duck+dunn%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1

Excellent choice. My daughter got one of these when she was 8 and it took her all the way to Grade 8. (Nowadays she just raids my collection) 😀

Yes, but according to Adams, the '69 isn't referring to 1969

Little Drummer Boy. Partly because it's sickeningly twee, but mainly because of it's association in my mind with Ian Brady & Myra Hindley https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/chilling-recording-shocked-the-court-133705.html

Make sure you replace the screws in the same hole they came out of. I’ve heard of case where screws of differing lengths have been used.
