Beach | "Doug, I'm not a big bass fanatic but I love the beat you put down with the bass. Its as good as anyone out there and among the best for sure. . I enjoy the hell out of your guitar playing too. That day at the pier when you did the closing riff in Walk Dont Run 1964, I was WOW!!!! And the organ, that is so old school. Love it. It's guys like you that keep that music alive. I'm very thankful for that. I wish you lived closer so I could pick up a few tips from time to time. HBkahuna" |
