What Inspired You To Play Bass?
Dear Prudence (Beatles) stands out for me. I can still see myself as a teenager, about 1980 or so, playing that song over and over, mesmerized.
A high school friend introduced me to the Who. A bass player taking it beyond like Entwistle did was eye and ear opening! Later on the player I most wanted to emulate was Berry Oakley. Hard driving blues based rock like the Allman Brothers Band suited my rootsy preference.
