Apparently the reason the American band Living Colour doesn’t use the US spelling is that founding guitarist Vernon Reid was born in London UK. His family moved to New York before his second birthday but, if you know his guitar playing, you won’t be entirely surprised by him making other quirky choices. The band was one I listened to a lot in my early bass playing years and I think had quite an influence on me.

I recently became aware that a documentary video that I haven’t seen for years was available on YouTube. Worth a watch for me:

Also on my “watch soon” list is a “Tiny Desk Concert” from the band which was released just a few hours ago:

(Doug Wimbish rather than Muzz Skillings on bass for this one).
