I never see this guy listed when talking about great Bassists - Gary Strater from the 70's prog rock band Starcastle. Mainly because he is just not that well known.

Lady of the Lake

Follow the Bass line of this song and let me know what you think, or if you already know. Thanks

Strater was a decent bass player himself - liked that muscular, trebly style of playing that Squire made famous.

You do know, though, that he went to Ole Miss?

No denying the parallel in styles. I was a huge Prog Rock fan growing up, loved YES, but it never hurt my feeling this band sounded so much like them. I just always liked Strater's style of play (and of course Squire's also). These guys were pretty good live as well, saw Yes and Starcastle back in the 70's.
