My point exactly when one talks about 'ownership'.
Giorgio never wrote the line, if you will, I did,  and The Munich  
Machine Rhythm section was the first to play THAT kind of disco. !!
I have no idea how many 'great' bass players I replaced around the  
western world......... where is that performers right money today??

Was it 'new'..........  don't know, Wes Montgomery's brother did  
something sim I'm told,  Graham Central Station guy did 8ve jumps,  
but tracked them, maybe my line is kinda like boogie woogie, but at  
that time I'd never heard of BW............. so I claim the line, the  
infamy and wrath !
Tendon specialists loved me !!

It was always interesting to hear US musicians put that 'German crap'  
down, but they didn't mind recording with us for $1k per day [cash]  
back in the 70's !!
Also interesting was the only German involved was Juergen Koppers the  
sound engineer.

ALSO.......... we NEVER used clicks.

I'd tell other producers I worked with dear old Giorgio used a Roland  
R808  [I think]  or something set to the Latin beat so we had 16's to  
work with [not play to ;-)]......... they argued and said it had to  
be 4 clicks to the bar [obviously I wasn't there].... I just laughed  
listening to guys trying to make the 2nd & 4th beat right.
