What (s)he said!

"Ok kids, lets learn how to play a musical instrument.  We'll start at the beginning, call it ground Zero.  If you ever want to know where the full potential of music is, here, listen to this piece.  Maybe someday you can make something THIS good.  Let's start practicing..."

You could always play the Us3 "Cantaloop" riff on this piece...  The original is nice, too, of course!
 
Just what I was thinking.... a much under-rated album

Feel like I'm watching the damn beginning to the Cosby Show. Can this song be put to pasture and any other Herbie Hancock song get into the rotation?
