The B-52’s!!!!
You’re right! From Athens, GA (Go DAWGS), the B-52s, REM & Widespread Panic to name a few.
MVF, you going to organize the meetup in Greensboro?

Lake Lanier, GAI was listening to Halcyon Days today and was wondering. 💡
Do you think Bruce reached a higher peak after Spirit Trail or Halcyon Days?
:Anyone know which has the greatest record sales?

Lake Lanier, GAMarch Madness!
Hey MVF,
What happened to NC State?Hey Vic,
You going to bet on TN? 😆Since the DAWGS aren’t there, I’ll have to pull for FL. (They wear orange also. You can’t trust anyone who wears orange!) (That includes TN, Clemson, Auburn & FL) ❗ 😆
Speaking of Clemson, do you know how to find your way to Clemson?
Answer: You go north till to you smell it and west till you step in it! ❗ 😆Who is everyone pulling for?
:David Day
Lake Lanier, GAGreat selection!
Can’t wait to hear from DavidR and DaveRich! ❗
Defenders, Pastures of Plenty, Funhouse. Wow! I’m going to be in “hog heaven”!
Thanks Si for all your great work! ❗

Don’t forget Robbie Robertson, Dave Mathews, Roger Waters, Don Henley,
B.B.King, Ricky Skaggs, Branford Marsalis to name a few more.Anybody else?
David Day
Lake Lanier, GAPS Would love to get Bruce and Steve Howe together!! (In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky they stand there!) 😆
I thought of another name for us!
Besides The Bruuuce.com Project, what about The Two Hand Independence Band? 😆

Lake Lanier, GAtreah wrote:My answer is, “All of the above.” Bruce constantly amazes me with the things he does musically.Another reason I like Bruce’s music is harder to define. Maybe it has to do with the way he voices chords or his singing style. I only know when I unexpectedly hear one of Bruce’s songs, my spirit gets lighter and the day instantly gets better. Not a very technical answer, I know, but that is as specific as I can get.
I think I can answer that! Bruce’s music is “soul music”. It’s feeds the soul. It’s “soul food”. It refreshes the soul!

That would be hard to do on a trombone! Speaking of talent, two hand independence on a trombone! ❗

What instrument(s) do you play?

Come on Bruce, I am sure Tokyo loves you!

Hey Big John! Thanks for joining us! I’m glad you’re there! What about a furlough this summer to SE U.S.? Would love to have you!
How about posting an avatar with your company?

Lake Lanier, GAPS How’s the scuba diving in Okinawa?
Re: Musician’s Musicians
rabjohns wrote:Bruce is a superb technical player, brilliant improviser and fantastic composer. The live work showcases his innovative flair – every performance is different (why else would we all have 26 different versions of the same song, love them all for their differences, and talk about them in terms of concert dates?). Most other musicians have maybe one or two published live performances.You said that well! I’ve been to 51 shows and they all have been different. I also love “Here Comes the Noise Makers” record! Talk about something that gets me fired up!
Bruce is great in concert! I’m a telling ya! I look forward to a few this summer!

Lake Lanier, GARe: Peaking?
rabjohns wrote:Peaking? Not a relevant question here. I for one am happy to listen to whatever he’s willing to play for me. There are no tunes that I never play – some just take a little more time to reveal their true quality.I feel the same way!
Bruce did seem to turn it up a notch after “Hot House Ball” going into “Spirit Trail”. It’s obvious there has been many peaks so far. I wonder if “Spirit Trail” has been the highest peak so far?
:What do you think?

Lake Lanier, GAdaverich wrote:When i first started I found it easier to kinda bob up and down to the tempo of the left hand – it kinda keeps it going easier, and then just forget about the left hand whilst playing other stuff on the right, after a while it’s just a matter of locking the different patterns in and then forgetting about them – leaving you to concentrate on showing offSince you’re left handed, maybe it’s easier for you since you can “forget about the left hand.”
What about you other pianists?
Are you left handed or right handed? Do you think it’s easier being left or right handed to play two hand independece?Anyone know if Bruce is left or right handed?

“Forget about tomorrow live for today

My special candy taste good now
Everyday I die a little (little?) anyhow”I’ve listened to Candy Mountain Run 100s of time trying to figure that out. I’ll defer my thoughts on that question for others to reply first.
It’s a great song! (I’m leading up to Candy Mountain Run on my “Has Bruce Peaked?” thread.) Check it out.
I’ll asked the same question. How about a lyrical analysis from some of you other road scholars! ❗
David Day
Lake Lanier, GASome great thoughts guys! Keep them coming! ❗
Why is it you like Bruce’s music so much? Does Bruce play in sharps & flats vs majors? Does Bruce change keys in the middle of a song vs 3 or 4 chord stuff? Does Bruce tend to change his tempos? Is it the two hand independence thing? Is it the difficulty of his music? Be specific!

Lake Lanier, GAdaverich wrote:mostly I’m left handed
Dave RichWhich brings up another question! Thanks for bringing it up!
Is it easier to play two hand independece if you are left handed or right handed?
:David Day
Lake Lanier, GAI can play a mean air guitar! 😆
I’ll be in, depending on technology that is needed. Count me in for guitar: 6 string & 12 string acoustic.
Sounds like to me you need a Road Scholar involved in this project! 😆
I got a name for us! The bruuuce.com Project! ❗ 😆
What do you think?

Dave RichHey Dave Rich! Thanks for your post. Some very interesting thoughts! Please check out the topic “The Four Davids”. I thought you were the left hand guitar player in your band?
Are you left handed?
David Day
Lake Lanier, GAThanks for your post Erin! Haven’t heard from you in a while. Glad to see you’re back!
