SMART Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Just been 'a clearing and re-organising the loft this evening and grabbed an old CD I haven't played for years (was in a 70s frame of mind...had the 'Best of the Sweet' on before...'Hellraiser' 'twas the very first single [showing my age now!] I ever did buy, followed by 'Gonna Make you A Star' by David Essex [produced by none than Jeff Wayne of 'War Of The Worlds' fame, you can hear his distinctive synth sound pre-TWOTW], then a groovy number called 'Jive Talkin' by them Bee Gees pre-'Saturday Night Fever', then I fell for the theme from 'Van Der Valk' called 'Eye Level' [you young 'uns won't know what I'm rambling on about!] and that was the beginning of a very large TV and film sound track collection...). Getting back to the point of this new topic, the CD I grabbed was Wings 'Greatest Hits' and along came 'Silly Love Song' with a really great bass riff. Any of you out there tried it? It's great Macca bass playing! Just some thoughts. Ciao Ian Edited December 31, 2007 by SMART Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6stringbassist Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 I wanted to be a vet, but didn't get high enough A level grades due to Paul McCartney, I spent too much time playing along to tracks like Silly love songs instead of revising. Ended up at music college instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obbm Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 In the Macca vein you just might enjoy [url="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/radio4_aod.shtml?radio4/fifteenminutemusical_mon"]Macca & Heather - The 15-minute musical[/url] I wonder who the session bassist is?

It just proves that underneath an awful lot of cheese, there's some real cream. (I'll get my coat!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
