Yeah Steve. I love Lucky. Whether it's a syncopated shuffle like the one you posted or a slow blues or just mid-tempo 'gut bucket', one thing you can depend on with Lucky is that absolutely exquisite timing (rhythmic feel). That's the part of (pop/jazz/blues/rock) music that you can't teach. You either feel it or you don't. I think John C. would agree with that. Some guys will have a 'magical' night when everything seems to be 'in the pocket'; and then their are some guys (or bands) that are ALWAYS there. Example - those great Count Basie bands of the 40's-60's.\
Thanks for posting that Steve. Lucky was a child prodigy, you know. He went through some rough times (even living on the streets) but seems to have been rehabilitated.
