One of my favorites…live on, Sammy.

Never a fan of the band, always loved this song.

Which leads me to a parallel thought:  that’s not uncommon, at least not for me.  Other examples of where I disliked or even hated the band/singer, but liked one specific song:

• Rolling Stones:  Honky Tonk Woman
• Grand Funk Railroad:  Footstompin’ Music
• Neil Young:  Cinnamon Girl

Turning things around, musically speaking.

Inspired by the first video below, here is a short list of songs in which I’d like to have played bass guitar, on stage with these artists (and no, I was never as good as the featured bassists, but so what):

Little Brown Bird (Tal Wilkenfeld, Clapton/Beck)

The Confessor (Dave The Bass Player, Joe Walsh)

Sometime World (Martin Turner, Wishbone Ash)

Sledgehammer (Tony Levin, Peter Gabriel)

Every time I hear the bass on these songs, I get an attack of the If Onlies…

…or to be more specific, earworms — almost every single tune in this compendium.
