[F] [Bb] Goodbye my love.
Welcome to Live from Daryl's House.
We have a very special show today.
This is a [Gm] celebration of my best friend
and one of the greatest musicians,
not one of, the [D] greatest musician I've ever worked with,
T-Bone [E] Walk.
We all got together, all of his friends,
all the people in the Hall & Oates band,
and played some songs [C] that he would have wanted to [F] hear.
And in addition to that, we're going to go to his house,
where T-Bone actually [Bb] grew up,
and hang with his father and his uncles and his family,
and then we're going to his favorite pizza place,
LaManda's Pizza,
and getting a garlic pizza that [Gm] T-Bone so loved,
and so [Eb] did I love.
[Dm] [Gm] [Fm]
[Bb] [C]
[Gm]
[Bb] You make my dreams come true.
[F] [Bb] [F] [Bb]
[C] I met [D] T-Bone in 1984.
I was about [C] 21.
[D] So a year, 25 years ago,
I knew who he was immediately.
[E] He was Tommy [D] Walk.
He was [G] the guy with the hat.
San Diego.
[D] Brendan Burner.
Humphries by the Bay.
He became British.
He became T-Bone.
Everybody was like clay in [Dm] his hand.
Ultimately neutralized him,
and he just put us all together.
He was a great player.
He was [Bm] really deep.
And when you first meet him, it's like you [Gm] want a sandwich.
I don't think he had a sandwich.
I think we [Bm] had a drink that night.
If you needed a guy to make you an egg salad [A] sandwich,
or an awesome bass line,
you call [D] T-Bone.
[A] [E]
[G] [D] [Am]
[E]
Jesus Christ, [A] I don't even need to fucking [D] play with you here.
I'm just going to like look at this thing.
Are [A] you using your penis too?
You're like using everything.
You're having a good day, I'm inspired by you.
God damn you're good.
I've had trouble before here.
[E] He was just light years beyond.
Guitar, bass, mandolins,
Hammond organ, keyboards,
all the string [Am] instruments, the accordion.
He had that very [E] kind of thing.
T-Bone was a New York State accordion champion at 14 years old.
He was tremendously [Am] talented, technically.
But lots of people are.
[E] He had a certain sensitivity that few people have.
Some people are talented,
but they kind of hold it for themselves, [Am] or an ego thing.
He was just, he wanted to give it to you.
[E] A bass line is a song within a song.
I honestly can say that I don't think I've ever met a [Am] better musician than him.
And I don't care who it is.
I definitely [E] equate him to being somebody like Evel Knievel.
He's like, he's not going to, there he goes, and he's hitting it.
[Am] How did you do that?
[E] Because I'm a busy motherfucker.
And you know what?
When I play that shit, and I do my thing,
[Am] I don't need to review it anymore.
There's [E] plenty of better players, I'm sure.
Or guys with faster fingers, or more flamboyant technique, [Am] or whatever.
But to me, that doesn't make a musician.
We [E] cut the song Neither One of Us.
I was singing, and he was producing.
It was just the two of us in the room.
[Am] And I started [E] crying while I was singing that song,
because it's such an amazingly sad song.
And T-Bone was crying.
And we're both [Am] crying.
I finished the song, and we're laughing and crying at the same [E] time,
with tears running down our face.
Because it was so, our hearts are so much, both of us, on our sleeves.
[Am] That's the kind of guy he was.
Something that I noticed about [E] him when he was playing,
especially when we used to trade off solos, you know?
I'd play a song, and he would play something on his bass.
[Am] You know how in a saxophone you have to take a breath, and then you blow.
[E] And then take another breath.
Well, he did that when he was playing his bass.
He would take a breath, and then the [Am] phrase would be over.
He'd [E] take another breath.
You know, a very musical way of doing it.
I doubt if he [Am] was even aware of it.
But that's what he did.
When you go on stage, if Bone was [D] anywhere near you, [Am] you were fine.
