Re: Re: chords, as best as I remember

Yeah, it's a G over an E on the bass. Same with the A over the E in the bass. I love inversions, not enough people play stuff that's not the root. Gene Holder is a master of finding 'the note' that's not what you might expect, but is complementary to the chord played.

I sure hope we come to Scandinavia. I'm thinking of trying to come over there sometime and play shows under my own name, but I'd need to put a record out again sometime soon. And you all know what a slacker I am about that.....

By the way, I don't know which issue of those albums you have, but the Collectors' Choice one from a few years ago is the remixed, remastered I.R.S. versions. Line has reissued stuff on us for years that has a lot of qualities to the sonics that are rather suspect.

Thanks, Hans. Good luck with your move. You know who your friends are: they're the ones who show up and help you move your junk.

Thanks for that! I must say I'm a sucker for inversions too, play them as much as I'm allowed by the rest of the band Bass is my main instrument.

I'd love to see you in Norway! I'll be keeping an eye on the website, I guess any plans for a tour will be posted here.

I have the Collector's Choice version, and it sounds great. I just ordered Paris Avenue yesterday, so I'm looking forward to hearing it! Any chance Collector's Choice or anyone else will be releasing Like This and The Sound Of Music?

And the move is finished. Now there's just the unpacking... and broadband installation... and the everlasting fight with my wife about where to keep my instruments... I was forced to take my two plastic Bontempi organs out of the house, along with the accordion, but oh well. It all works out in the end!

Regards,
Hans Kristian

Hey Peter....

Whenever you hop the ocean...don`t forget about another country... ;-)

And by the way...we would never dare to say you`re a slacker...all we can do is wait... ;-)

Good luck!

Don't work on the chords while you're driving
