Give It Up For The Bass, Man!

You know the guy, usually standing back next to the drummer, head bobbing and foot tapping, as he keeps the bottom of the tune from going awry.  That's the bass player,  the unsung hero of the band who is content to stand back and let others take the spotlight.  So it is with great pleasure, that Trick's Synthetic Podcast is bringing to the forefront this tribute to bass man extraordinaire Larry Taylor - The Mole, bassist for Canned Heat and others. The man who puts his heart and soul in so many great tunes exactly like these:
