Yeah, I wasn't nervous. I think that you can get an adrenaline rush before a stage, which is natural. But I think as soon as you bring fear to a bandstand, you're limiting yourself. You're kind of like walling yourself off from everyone else. If you're afraid, like, what is there to be afraid of?

You must be afraid of making a mistake and therefore you're coming at it as like a perfectionist and you can't come at music that way or it's not going to be as expansive and vulnerable and true. So, no, I was excited and passionate and having the best time. And also, you know, the fact that he... gave me this solo. The context of this performance is that this was a guitar festival.

It's one of the biggest guitar festivals in the world because it's Eric Clapton's festival. And there's like 400 guitarists that are all playing solos all night. And we were, like, towards the end of the night. And I could tell, like, Jeff, like, got, like, a kick out of, you know, I'm not going to solo on, like, one of my most well-known songs, Castle Bend and His Lovers.

Well, Stevie Wonder wrote it, but people know Jeff for that song and his solo on it. Like, I'm going to give it to my bass player. And, like, he did. And, like, he's, like, bowing. Like, he didn't have to do that.

It just shows what a generous musician he is, and that's evident in his playing across the board. He is a generous, loving, open musician. He's not there for himself. He's there for the music. And he thought, well, this would be the perfect musical thing to do.

And it kind of all started when I went to audition for him, which was an interesting experience because I got food poisoning on the plane. And so literally when the plane landed, I went straight into an ambulance into a hospital overnight. The manager picked me up and I showed up at Jeff's door, which was like a three-hour drive through windy country roads.

And he answered the door and he's like, okay, you're ready to play. So we went upstairs and started like rattling off the set. And when it came to this song, Cause of Innocence Lovers, he just said solo. And he loved it and kept the solo in it. So that's kind of how, because there was no bass solo before I was playing in his band. So this whole thing was kind of new.
