You’ve probably never heard OF Carol Kaye, but you have certainly heard her music, especially on bass. Pure awesome.
Tal Wilkinfeld & Jeff Beck 2009(?).
Jaco Pastorius was brilliant on bass, but had serious mental problems.

Those who volunteered for the rescue missions, as of this posting, are not, and nobody cares about those brave bastards.
EXCEPT FOR THE AMISH.
