The troubled but talented
Jim Gordon!

-- Ken L (lauter...), January 6th, 2005.

Considering he killed his mother with an axe then I guess describing him as 'troubled' is justified.

It was a subtle hint for those in the know, so as not to sully the thread with the grisly details.

"Spanky" (guitarist on Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Tony Toni Tone, etc albums)

― you can email me if you wish to challenge the truth (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 14:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Also I think on Raphael Saadiq's solo stuff. I have no idea what his real name is, and google isn't much help.

― you can email me if you wish to challenge the truth (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 14:41 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Spanky used to be in a group called "Our Gang".

― Rev. PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie 2), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Really? I will soooo check that out, he is one of my favorite guitarists.

just don't mistakenly buy a spanky & our gang album. although there are probably lots of hired guns on "sunday will never be the same". what a song!

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:25 (seventeen years ago) link

conjunction junction dude produced most of spanky & our gang's cool 60's stuff. he was a session cat. bob dorough.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:27 (seventeen years ago) link

I recent years, he used to do some kind of jazz brunch for a long time somewhere, I think.

Good choices, but we forgot about (on the other side of the rhythm section)
Kenny Aaronson!

I always imagined that being a session player would be a really cool job.

He never will forget at all
The day he played at the Albert Hall.
A million sessions ago it seems.
He is a session man,
A chord progression,
A top musician.

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

the best thing about that song is the four-syllable pronunciations of "progression" and "musician."

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes!

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:55 (seventeen years ago) link

In fact, it really should be written out
a chord progress-i-an
A top music-i-an

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Because, you see, he is not a chord progression himself, rather a master of chord progressions, a chord "progressian."

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

damn, i never thought of it that way. that makes total sense!!! you are a top sense-i-an, mr. redd capp!
