To What Are Yee Listenin' Right Now?


(i'm going to perform this one in less than 2 weeks and still can't play walking bass well).
One for study and one for playalong practice ...
HTH!
 
I'm a huge UFO fan. In 1979, when I was 14, I rode my bicycle 14 miles roundtrip to the Two Guys department store in the middle of the baking hot August sun, to buy the Strangers In The Night record album, based on nothing but the band's name. I paid around $8 for it with money I earned delivering morning newspapers for the Gazette. Over the years, Schenker and that album would become one of my biggest influences. My first concert was Cheap Trick & UFO, on March 8, 1981. Unfortunately, Schenker had just left the band, replaced by Paul Chapman (an underrated guitar player).

I'm only just discovering the band really. I used to watch That Metal Show (or whatever it was called) with Eddie Trunk and UFO was his favorite band, he talked about them all the time, but I just couldn't get into it. Then recently my Pandora station started playing UFO songs I'd never heard before and I really got into them. Deep cuts are your friend on Pandora, otherwise they only play the radio singles over and over again. I've fallen in love with the band and am finally realizing why they were so great. Same thing with Aerosmith and a few other bands that I never looked deeper into.
