[4 Strings]

I'm needing to learn some Sister Sledge (one being Thinking of You - what a beautiful and beautifully performed song!) and in my getting into the vibe of one of the greatest groove best players ever I came across this one.

Here's our hero with a Precision, Kustom naugahyde stack and doing his pretending to have a plectrum thing. I know its mimed but, nonetheless thought it interesting enough to post...

Yowza, He was a chap who could lay down a serious groove.

Bernard was the man, exceedingly gifted without a trace of self indulgence.

I had to learn that song for an audition. I spent ages on it. Then, at the audition, they didn't want to play it.

April 18th 1996 on stage in Japan, well, after leaving the stage.

EDIT: due to inability to type.

Absolutely. This has livened me up on a Sunday morning. Bernard, Niles and Tony - what a combination.
