Morning Bongoceros,

I have been invited to provide percussion for an acoustic set of Bill Withers songs. What I'm working on right now is "Use me". I'm thinking just a standard martillo with accents and maybe some improv during the breakdown.. Any thoughts most welcome...

A Martillo is fine and work in some left hand
shifting accents.

It's a great record! Our acoustic version is slightly more up-tempo.. I'm gonna keep it nice and simple as I'm not used to performing in front of a lot of people on Bongo..

I've Dj'd in front of hundreds but that is a lot easier, decks to hide behind.. I am a bit nervous ???
