I'm really with you on this one. Alan has one of the best pedal-bass lines in the business. Super tasteful. You have to be an organ player (or a would-be one like me) to appreciate how effortless he makes it seem. A really great musician. I sort of wish everyone would click on Donny's link above and read what Alan has to say about himself and about his musical taste. He mirrors my thoughts and feelings so closely that it's scary. Like him, I've admired but never been a huge fan of Sinatra but have never had the courage to say it on THIS board for fear of being murdered (actually Fran is a pretty nice guy so I'd probably only get broken kneecaps ). Anyhoo, talent doesn't always land you in the big leagues.
