Whoa… What just happened?

efd:

the right channel on TT3 was very low and this is a long-ish song so I restarted it but I didn't want to come on mic so I just faded up my music bed for a few seconds while I re-cued the record.

asheville jon:

Good evening!
No mistaking the oblivion express funky groove sound

Drums: Brian Keenan (1943–1985). Follow his amazing patterns and fills. And ignore the friggin' cowbell.
