I secretly wish James Jamerson's bass was in Dennis's basement, too. That would truly be something special.

I love how Gregg is completely gobsmacked when DC shows the McLaughlin guitar!

Hearing Dennis tell about the video tapes Tony made almost moved me to tears. That stuff needs to be released!
