The Things We Do For Love (10 CC)

Written by Randy Grohs & Chip Ruberry
Fender Fretless Jazz Bass: Chip Rubbery
Keyboards & Keyboard-Guitars: Randy Grohs
Drums: Mac Hine

Chip and I just started playing something while recording and I rearranged a bit and added more tracks to it later.  This is mostly an exercise in using new gear: first time recording with Logic Pro X instead of Sonar (and I didn't quantize anything - didn't feel the need to with the responsiveness of the Mac!)  Super happy to crank something out: it's been a minute!  Special thanks to Chip.

Logical Song (Supertramp Cover)

by John Scofield
All instruments: Randy Grohs
This was basically a transcription exercise to learn the bass, key and guitar parts - had to slow the song down so I could play drums... Dennis Chambers is just too good to keep up with on this one at full speed....

Did It (John Scofield Cover)

by William Kennedy, Jimmy Haslip, Russell Ferrante / 
All instruments: R. Grohs 

Another fave from Yellowjackets - another learning exercise to transcribe and observe how the masters put chords and melodies together - I'm merely a mimic in this one.

R. Grohs: Bass, Guitars, Pianos, Strings, TR808 Drum Machine, Vocoder, Synths (Prophet 5, Mini-Moog, others) /
This one was recorded back in 2013 - listened to it again recently and decided to dust it off and post it after all.  A favorite album of ours...  Aaron did the drums & vocals and his foundation keyboard tracks inspired the rest of the layers that I added.  /

Aaron did the lion's share of this one, and WOW!  I played along on guitars & bass, trying to do my best impression of Tony Levin.   One of my personal faves.

You're My Best Friend (Queen Cover)

by John Scofield / 
Randy Grohs: keyboards, key-bass, key-guitars & Roland TD17 drums /
Another favorite and primarily a learning/transcription exercise.  

This is the first time I've played & recorded the Roland TD17 electronic drums instead of my acoustic Gretsch kit.  Still like the feel of acoustics but the Rolands feel pretty good and for recording, there's tons of control...
