SICbass Posted April 1, 2020 Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Dave Bronze fan here too. Both with Clapton and Eric Bibb. We played support to Robben Ford a few times in 1991. Roscoes Beck was a very friendly and approachable chap. Edited April 1, 2020 by SICbass 1 Quote

I don't often watch anything more than once but this set on Youtube with his Dad, and Gene Coye on drums is beautiful His tone and taste, with a foot in the traditional and a foot in the modern day, is brilliant.

Guest Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Keith Ferguson, original Fabulous Thunderbirds bass player was outstanding. Great fat tone and always came up with the most un-typical little runs to link chords. Cool attitude too! Quote
