Always loved Atlanta Rhythm Sectrion and loved 'em even more when I discovered the bass player usually played a Rick.

Very cool live bass solo featured on that link,(major CS influence,which i would never have expected,having only a passing familiarity with their radio hits). RIP, Paul.

Wow. That's a great solo! I have this album on vinyl, but I haven't listened to any of my vinyl in years. He was a very solid player, and it was always nice to see him with his Ric.

Paul was one of my early bass influences, a very, very underated player. Sad news. :(
