With my back against that damn eight ball
I didn't have to think or talk or feel
My life was just an old routine
Every day the same damn thing
I couldn't even tell I was alive
One of my favorite bands from the 70's Weather Report and Jaco Pastorius on bass and no just an electric bass but a fretless bass.
Jaco is considered by most to be on the level of Jimi Hendrix in changing how others played the electric bass.
Of course, @soberups, is going to jump in here and tell ya Geddy Lee was the best!
Another fine example of Jaco Pastorius's bass work and of course the rest of the band playing Birdland … a tribute to Birdland, the club named in honor of Charlie “Bird” Parker.
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
