Van Halen's "Jump" played on a Rick - sort of...

Extra cheese on that? You bet, and I love it. I played upright in several big band situations over the years and when it's kickin' tight and the horns are blowin' strong, your feet just can't touch the floor and you can't put your fingers in the wrong place.

Certainly an unlikely spot for a Rick though. But versatility isn't really a problem there, despite what 99% of folks who haven't played one would think.

HAHAHAHA-quote of the year!

I really like this version-it's even better than Aztec Camera's rendition, which is in itself, of course, far superior to the original.

The Rick is just icing on the cake.

Some friends of mine went to see him this spring with their parents who are in their mid 60's. They said watching most of the audience, mainly in their 70's and 80's, (this is Florida as well, remember..) couldn't "Jump", but leaned forward whilst trying at the moment of encouragement...

Priceless!

Nice take on one of VH's best.
