Tom ‘n Stevie singing at each other.

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.

Jimi’s old bassist has a go at the psychedelics.  And another one, just for the hell of it.

Lotta junk came out of the 60s, too.  It’s just too bad that a lot of it has stuck to my memory like shit on a shoe.

Well, it’s no disgrace at all, really.
