Lynn Sorensen: Rock Superstar

Living in the Seattle area it's not rare to hear great musicians jam; last night it was in tribute to a fallen brother, Joe, taken two years ago. When a rock superstar takes the stage it's something else, something magic. That's what happened last night at Oddfellows Grill in Redmond.

Notable musicians like Manuel Morais and Eddie Mendoza from the Aury Moore Band, Roger Fisher from Heart, Darlene Tyler from Heartless, Pete Butterfield, the Thornburg brothers from Jar, among others, all amazed us with great musicianship and passion. Never thought I'd hear a pounding "Moby Dick" played live ever again, and it takes a great drummer to do that (Jeff Kathan).

Later, Lynn Sorensen (bass player for Bad Company) absolutely transformed the stage. Inventive, powerful, spectacular bass playing. Thrilling to hear him play a rocking "Helter Skelter" with the young Russ Thornburg on lead guitar.
