	Summer NAMM 2006 #1: This dude funked it up hard from above AND below, switching without missing a thump. I'd say it was gimmicky if he didn't have the taste & grooooove to back it up. But he did. He was layin' it down on the one. And who was watching (to the left) but Chuck Rainey. His right hand was playing air slap bass to what was going on. I guess when Chuck Rainey plays air bass to you, your ass is groovin'!

This is epic. See if you notice something odd with the Albanian and Arabic entries.

"You have to know the rules before you can break them."
Ok, jump on in. Be my guest. The rules don't even know the rules.
