Hi Moggers,Sorry for missing last week's JM post - computer meltdown just prior to the Xmas break (turned out to be defective memory. The computer's, not mine, but my wife thinks I have similar issues).Anyhow, for post # 10 in this mini series I'm offering up a little slice of McLaughlin sitting in on a session for Stanley Clarke's "School Days" album. Although McLaughlin started out as a session guitarist, he has sat in on relatively few sessions since (although he had joined Clarke previously on Clarke's "Journey To Love" album).This piece features Clarke on string bass (both bowed and plucked)and McLaughlin on acoustic guitar in an "unplugged" setting. Very tasty bass playing! As for McLaughlin, he's playing his "Shakti" guitar and exhibiting some of the wonderfully extreme pitch-bending that was a hallmark of his at the time.Happy New Year to you all! Looking forward to sharing more JM stuff and discovering new music from my Mog friends in 2008!MM
