Traffic appeared amidst the late-1960s psychedelic scene, and at its height the band was one of the most adventurous outfits around, although Traffic's unstable lineup made it an on-again, off-again affair by the '70s. Teenage wunderkind Stevie Winwood was the main man, but all the members made significant contributions. With a sound that combined influences from folk, rock, jazz, and soul, Traffic created something wonderfully of its time.

Sept 17th is Constitution Day. It was on this day in 1787 the founding fathers signed the Constitution into law. Now you may be asking yourself "What about July 4th, 1776?" July 4th 1776 is the day the Second Continental Congress signed the Declaration of Independence. Hence the name Independence Day. I was going to post about the 4th Amendment this evening but I won't.

Here are two of my favourite, hypnotic bass lines. One is sampled and used a lot, the other is rarely heard, and really should be used as the basis for something by someone soon (please). Walking in the Wind on When The Eagle Flies, Traffic's last album set a great mood. The bass is played by Rosko Gee. What a groove. The second is Stratus from Spectrum by Billy Cobham. After 2-3 minutes of drum solo and moog accompaniment, the song hits its stride. The bass... MORE

back around 1983, my crazy older brother ran away to hawaii. i kind of missed the daily torture, but he did leave me, a 15 year old with a hankering for all the music i could get my hands on, with a crazy ass stereo system and many hundreds of records he bought working at sam goody.
