From Canada

Been a fan of Frank and Mahogany Rush since the 70s.

@oldthumper this reminds me of the Singles OST which I played to death in high school/university. This song was on it along with tons of other gems.

I had a pretty epic Cissy Strut story on the Bass Stories thread!
Such a killer killer tune.

HA! He performed at a backyard fundraising event for The Roots of Music (New Orleans Non Profit) up here in Westchester NY, at this rich lady’s (who loved New Orleans) house.

I walked into the living room where he and god knows what other famous people sat.
I said hi, and walked out. At least you learned something!

Great family of musicians, @Wombat-metal , and Margo’s voice cuts like a knife,
very nice bass playing by Alan Anton, he has a very different style.
We have tickets to see them in Melbourne in 2022 after their 2020 concert schedule was cancelled due to that hideous COVID outbreak :rage: :rage:
Cheers Brian

I love Margo’s voice. On Sweet Jane especially.

My favourite is Crescent moon :sunglasses:

It’s really hard to pick the best musician out of that band. They are all awesome.

I had no idea the lead singer of The Buggles was a bassist, and on a 5er no less.
This might be a fun song to cover on a 5 string.
For all you younger metal focused types, this was the very first song/video played on MTV.
For all you younger metal focused types, MTV was a channel that played music videos 24/7 until a bunch of idiots from New Jersey degraded it into a reality TV cesspool. :laughing:
But if you grew up in the 80s, it was a MUST.

The Buggles by the way, went on to a very illustrious career of playing this song over and over and over.
