Just starting to learn
To play bass guitar
The desire that burned
Like a Rock-n-Roll star

My collection of LP's
Yes back in the day
Black Sabbath's and Uriah Heep's
Along with them I would play

Practiced and practiced
And soon in a band
Bought my first Rick Bass
The journey began

So many good bass players
To idolize and learn from
Bob Daisley, Geezer Butler
But Gary Thain was #1

His melodic bass lines
Were something to hear
Distinct and sublime
Bass guitarist extraordinaire

Gary you taught me
So very much
Melodic always unique
With a delicate touch

Each time I listen to
Learning while playing along
The magic your bass would do
With each and every song...

Music has driven me to ink many a times.  Was Pink Floyd who first moved me in that manner.  I have to admit, gary may have been a little ahead of my time but I will look him up.
