- Double Bass on '39
-
Sebastian informed me about his success (thanks and well-done!):
Brian told me this fabulous quote about '39 :
"The double bass was a natural thing to try for 39 because I had styled the
whole thing on a 'traditional' Skiffle song format - the skiffle thing was
always originally played with acoustic guitar, "tea-chest" bass, and more
often than not, a washboard for percussion!!!. We thought drums would be
just fine, Roger easily adapted his style, but double bass gave the
atmosphere we were looking for. I remember being amazed really, because I
remarked to John that it would be nice if he could do the recording on an
upright bass, wondering if I was being silly. Well, a couple of days later
there he was with the thing, and the incredible thing was - he picked the
technique in no time - he could really play it!! as you can hear"
