One of my all time favourite tracks! Somebody PM Bill Mecca. He's gonna go ape when he sees this!

Nice of the Mod Squad cast to make an appearance too.
DP.. gimme a banana! :lol

actually using a pc in the courthouse (on jury duty) so no sound... :( will check it out later.
You're on Jury Duty?

You poor bastard. Instead of a banana, I'll send ya $100 so you can bribe a sherrif to shoot you and put you out of your misery. :(

Until then, I got three words:

A good book. :D
Wow! Thanks for posting these! I thought the first clip of the blues song was amazing!
That's what I call Blues! Interesting he's using a HR MP--anyone know what kind it is?
HO=ow did he do it? Did he use his thigh, or did he drasticly drop his Jaw?
I'll eventually learn how to type ^ He he he!
sorry I accidentally brought up another thread.
MPC looks like a Berg??? looks like he used his thigh
yes he played Bergs both SS and HR.

DP, I work for the courts, was a reporter for decades so I am actually enjoying this perspective and will be writing about it.

In the nicest possible way....between mates....Bill...you're a very sick man! :D :shock:
I might be wrong, but that looked like Aretha Franklin (KC was her musical director around that time) and a very young Jesse Jackson in the audience?

I loved the part where Champion Jack was drinking a beer with one hand and comping rhythm with the other!

He's my man!:)
Very cool clip. Thanks.
I can't be sure but that looks like a black laquered Selmer.
Sure looks like Aretha in the pink top.

He definitely uses his thigh, you can see him twist his body and the horn when he goes for it. That's a really great cut, I like that a lot.
