Lazy Joe

It's interesting how this tune alternates between syncopated phrases, and non-syncopated phrases.  The syncopated parts seem more strident, as though someone is ordering Lazy Joe to get moving, but Joe replies with his lazy-sounding straight timing.  Good tune for a lazy day!

That's just beautiful Bob...those long slides like pouring water...  !

Thanks.  I wanted to try close mic'ing, and it reproduced the tone very well.

I agree with Strum. For some reason, I don't always care for too many slides but while listening, I remember thinking, "I like the slide, there."

Slides, whether in stroke style or OT or whatever...are like really good chocolate.  A few tastes are a wonderful delicacy, a plateful can make you feel ill.
