Bob Babbitt..
As a musician, I've been fortunate to have worked with some of my heroes through the years...I lost one with the passing of Motown bassist Bob Babbitt... Bob worked with me at Merlot Sound on my recording of "Mercy, Mercy Me" for the Player album, which he had originally played on with Marvin Gaye during the Motown sessions.. he was like a kid at Christmas time in the studio... we spent our time working and talking about music... about Motown bassist James Jamerson, whom he loved like a brother.. he sat in a chair with his old Fender Precision, and a tube compressor which he brought with him, and played his butt off.. we talked about future recordings but that won't happen...let me just say that he was a wonderful, caring, kind person who happened to be a great musician...
route 66
Met some fine folks on famous US Route 66 between Tulsa, Oklahoma, Chelsea, Oklahoma, Joplin Missouri and Springfield Missouri... sad to see how alot of the little towns have went under.... had a good time at the Afton Station ran by Laurel... she has a great blog at http://aftonstationblog-laurel.blogspot.com/ Enjoyed the nice folks in Tulsa and Michael Vee's Restaurant is superb.. gotta go back there... the Ozarks from Missouri and Arkansas route 7 was great... had a blast... cheers
