Thanks Greg!
Keep on keepin' on in the shop Rob. GFR is a band that sounds like they actually have dirt under their fingernails. The American Band!
Super cool J. Farner still has a great voice from what I've seen on youtube. I wish I went to see them when they got back together a few years ago.
Thanks Jim! I usually just go for the bare minimum on the bass because I'm not a bass player, but this song pushed me to sit down and really try to learn a cool bass part for the first time. Some of it anyway.
Thanks Mark and James!
Thanks Matt, it's been an interesting couple weeks with this song and the subject matter. Felt like I was exploring my roots. I'm taking my family to the museum tomorrow to see the Sit Down Strike exhibit and the old cars.
I gotta throw this in here. This guy has been walking 21 miles round trip to work for almost a decade.

Great ! Grand Funk is an American Band !! Love the video !!! I work in a machine shop and come home greasy and dirty everday and yes we are a "Union" Shop !!! Just all around great T-Head ... Keep 'em Comin' !!!
Cooool! Great one Turtlehead.
I got to meet Mark Farner during his solo days.
I Worked in a print shop i printing the tickets.
He did Foot Stompin music and I'm your Captain i was ready to go then
but hey the tickets were only $6.00 to begin with!!
That's great turtlehead! Nice bass work too!
Great job once again.
great job with that old classic !!!
Erie is going the same way. Steel is all gone and they closed the paper factory and GE is supposed to pull up stakes to make train engines in Texas or some such. Crime is spreading and starting to get scary, they just broke up a mexican drug cartel. Who knew, anyway this is a great song and it is really cool to look at the footage also cool to see you play bass. Really enjoyed this!!
Not trying to dwell on the bad stuff though, there has been a lot of good happening lately in the downtown areas of Flint and Detroit from what I've seen. The rust belt folks are a hardy bunch.
