He and I had the most similar opinions regarding musicians, except for his praise of Chris Wood (of MMW) and my thinking Chris Wood is the weakest member of MMW, and highly over-rated.
Yeah, haven’t talked to Eli in some time. Living in Texas and believe he’s got two little ones running around, so I’m sure he’s got a plate full.
Still, miss talking to him, and hope that all is well.
Chris Wood is the glue that holds everything together! I think it was in an early MMW interview that Vernon Reid (the interviewer, and a brilliant one at that) compares Chris’s harmonic overtones to Fred Hopkins, saying they have a very vocal quality, that they sing. That’s pretty high praise! If you’re just a warm body they got to fill in on bass, you don’t get those kind of compliments from people who are listening deeply.
Dude, holy hell. It’s SuperJay! I was just wondering where you had disappeared to. Or would it be to where you had disappeared? Yeah, it’s that. Good to see you 'round.
