Hi MM,
Could you shed some light on some of your most treasured on stage moments with Maynard during your stint with him? How about some nights that surprised you or made you woop out loud for the Boss? One night in early 06 I saw the band in South San Francisco at a middle school just before Pete F. left the band for the second time (my guess is right before you joined up). Maynard played some of the best improv I ever heard him play in his later years that night. He was tearing up the changes on Dr. Fox such that the horn line was audibly cheering him on during his solo. Reggie W. pointed to MF emphatically after his first solo and the crowd and band went wild for MF. He quoted I've Got Rhythm during his solo and that pretty much got passed around to whomever else blew on that tune that night too. Just goes to show you how everything MF did was so infectious! I specifically remember Lashway throwing it into his solo too. Man, that was the first time I saw Lashway back on the band after he left for the first time and he never disappointed. He even played the Archie Bunker theme song when they introduced Pete F. Man, that guy has some sense of humor. What a band that night! Maynard also played some of the best blues I have EVER heard from
anyone
on Frame. That solo was really something to behold.
