As an aside, Rai is one of the nicest guys you'll meet. One of the best hours in conversation I've ever spent, was with him His niceness and idealism comes through even to people like me who've never had the privilege to have met him. Caught my son and daughter giddily singing "Man oh Man" at each other the other day. I didn't want to mention I was a fan. Would have ruined the moment. 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have gushed a little too much on that song in my interview with him.

Adan Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Didn't know about Rai until right now. This is a real Keyboard Corner moment . . . the reason I hang out here! 5 Quote Gigging: Crumar Mojo 61, Hammond SKPro Home: Vintage Vibe 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't expect to be crying at an upbeat song at the start of my workday today. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobadohshe Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I've always loved this for the funky Tim Levebre bass line. I love the line and his overall style. And I love this for the subject matter. The corn dog bullet sash kills me. 4 Quote Kawai C-60 Grand Piano : Hammond A-100 : Hammond SK2 : Yamaha CP4 : Yamaha Montage 7 : Moog Sub 37 My latest album: Funky organ, huge horn section https://bobbycressey.bandcamp.com/album/cali-native Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you liked it and yeah I first heard / saw it during COVID (I think he recorded it during that period as well) and had a similar reaction 2 Quote The Keyboard Chronicles Podcast Check out your fellow forumites in an Apple Music playlist Check out your fellow forumites in a Spotify playlist My Music: Stainless Fields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, both of those tracks are thrilling. I'm retracting my initial "cool, but a pass for me" take and revising it to: "100% worth digging into for more, but be ready for things I love, and also things I have zero interest in". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redknife Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I do periodic deep listening dives on everything Louis Cole/Knower and associated players. Below is an interview of Louis by Jack Conte and Ryan Lerman of Scary Pockets. I found it enlightening to hear about Louis’ development as a drummer and him talking about his top drummers. He talks about getting better with a metronome in college by walking around with a metronome and sleeping with a metronome under his pillow! As a big fan, I agree with the sentiment that I have to be in the right mood but I can and have listened to his stuff again and again. I definitely appreciate other perspectives here. The messages Knower/Cole/Clown Car/etc transmit to me as a musician are 1) be yourself 2) work hard at your craft to have something to add to the world 3) associate with top notch musicians 4) keep a sense of humor 5) music that doesn’t “please” can be very moving (more specifically in relation to Clown Core) Here is the interview for those wanting to get a more personal look at Louis: (unfortunately labeled as a “reaction video “ but not really…) Quote Chris Main gear: Yamaha C7, Kronos 2 88, Moog Sub 37, CK61, Kurzweil PC2x, Pearl epro, Mac/Logic/AUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
