Not a lot of bands cover this Grammy winning song from 1987. Retroflection has a male & female team of vocalists who can pull it off though. Since we have been rehearsing it to ultimately add it to our set list and I have been practicing it lately, I thought I would show you how I am playing it.

(I've Had) The Time Of My Life 

Nathan East, who was the bassist for Eric Clapton, Michael Jackson, and others performed on the studio recording for this uptempo hit song by Phil Collins. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. Lee Sklar performed the song on several tours with Phil over the decades. He recorded himself playing along with a recording of this song on tour here (and it's definitely worth a watch):

It was a fun song to learn and super fun to play because the bass line is such a distinctive feature of this track.

My daughter, Gemma, encouraged me to play this on the G&L "Honeyburst" because I've been playing my Ibanez so much lately. She thought it was getting a little neglected. LOL!

Something Happened On The Way To Heaven

This is a timeless song released in 1992. Easy to learn, fun to play. It's got great energy and is very catchy.
