Happy Birthday George!Every time I see you play live, you inspire me to want to go out and save the planet. For me, your bass grooves define "in the pocket".You have truly funkified my life and I thank you.

  3. Bryan says I was just talking about George yesterday as we were listening to the Meters on the way home from skiing. The only thing more amazing about The Meters (and George in particular) and their music is how relatively unknown they are to the world. Everybody who loves music needs to know George.
