No justification is needed for covering this song.

I record all my music under the stage name of Hopalong Ginsberg. *shrug* It could be worse.

Just out of curiosity, do you usually play bass with your thumb? I’ve seen Paul McCartney use that technique in early Beatles vids.

Always with my thumb. It’s not right, but it is what it is...

It works. That’s what matters. If I followed the rules I wouldn’t be making music.

As I said, professional curiosity.

Thanks, and they likely are; I took the pics from public domain image sites and added some filtering and sharpening to get the sepia look.

Thanks, and me too. Simulating them is as close as I can come to playing them, but it seems to work.
