So John Lennon was one Genius, but here was another. A young man who came from out of no where with a $90.00 Fender bassguitar in his hand. In his biography I read he was doing free jams till one day he had his first kid and said "well it's time to make to make some money at this bass playing thing." (Something like that been a while since I read the book, but that really stood out), But one of his most famous stints was with the 70's Jazz fusion band Weather Report. And with that one of his most memorable tunes with them "Teen Town." He also did a did a solo album around the sametime. One bassplayer heard his first solo release and said I can play this stuff. But the thing that put this bassist in awe is when they heard this kid wrote it. One track that awed many of us bassist especially me, was this track when I first engulfed it with fresh ears...
