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.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's just being able to differentiate from like the body and from like expression music. All right. Yeah.

Yeah. Different styles of music invite varying degrees of, I would say, uncertainty or unsafety in the way that people might perceive it. So for instance, like the tour that I was just on, like playing Allman Brothers songs, like I am standing on the edge of the cliff the entire night. And if I... you know, mess something up, mess it up. Like what even is a mistake?

But if I do like a little clunker or whatever it is, it's like, so what? Like I wouldn't have played half the stuff that I'm playing if I wasn't constantly standing on the edge of the cliff, like wild. And so... I don't care about those few little things. I care about the overall expression.

And then there's other gigs that, for instance, if I got called for like a pop or a country session or a show, in those environments, they may want you to play Like just play the pot and play it with a great groove and time and great dynamics and don't really veer away from the pot and stuff. And, and I've done plenty of those gigs too. It's just, it's just a different like hat you put on.

Because at the edge of the cliff is all possibilities and unknown. You don't know what's coming. And I love being there in the unknown. Otherwise, it's just like, well, why are we doing this? Am I just like a clown on stage, like showing you my skills or what I've studied in my bedroom? It's like, no.
