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.

Right on Chas, you hit the nail on the head you either have or you don't it sure is a gift. I didn't know Lucky was a child prodigy. Just looked him up on Wikpedia and looks as though his first album was at 5 years old. cool
