Plenty of adrenaline, plenty of mistakes, still a good memory. Probably the largest crowd I had played in front of to that date.

“Dark Side of the Moon” is genius
Happy accidents, brilliant songwriting, perfect musicianship, timeless concepts. ’nuff said.

Guy Pratt’s “My Bass and Other Animals”
My Bass and Other Animals by Guy Pratt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Charming anecdotes, from a talented (as well as extremely lucky) bass player and musician.
I found myself wishing to read more about the personalities behind the music and a bit less about all the drunken escapades (although for a music memoir this is a very balanced read).
As an amateur bass player myself, I found this immensely entertaining.
Guy has a self-deprecating and gentle-but-sarcastic good humor about his story.
