R.I.P. Joe Sample

I remember he said in an interview for a keyboard magazine in the early 80s that he would never sit down to write if he wasn’t already happy , ie he didn’t write to make himself happy but rather it was an outlet for his happy creativity . That kind of stuck in my mind .

And keep the volume control on the Rhodes on 4 ( not 8 ) and play harder when you want more volume , that way you get more different tones .

Favourite track ; " In All My Wildest Dreams ".
