You guys are no strangers to paying homage to the greats, so I propose a new track inspired by Deodato's "Tahiti Hut." I know you've got the chops to give it that signature Vulfpeck spin while keeping the essence of Deodato's masterpiece. Imagine the irresistible blend of your tight rhythm section, punchy horns, and infectious melodies with tropical vibes. It's a match made in funk heaven. So, what do you say? Can we look forward to a Vulfpeck x Deodato-inspired jam? I have no doubt that you'll knock it out of the park and leave us all dancing in our living rooms. Keep on groovin'.

Every musician... - and any human wanting to claim himself as musican - should think like this about other bandmates... Music band should be - a complex and beautifull hebrew word - „EHAD”, „ONE”, united (not exactly means „uniformited”), being interested, communicative and understandable about each other. This is an essence of bandview of many world-famous musicians and bassists :)

The point is musicians now have a place like youtube to learn and grow from instead of having to travel to the nearest city hoping to learn from some strangers in a Baileys Bros.
