    My father, Allyn Ferguson, wrote this. He has passed, but if he heard you play, he would have said, “Good job, you played my funk tv theme masterpiece real nice.”

      Your father was a genius. This is the best television theme song ever. There will never be a better one. I have never met a Bass player in my whole life that did not want to try and play this. When the teacher left the band room in high school, the cello players would play this.

      Barney Miller theme is in my Top 5 tv themes of all time and just a fantastic piece of music. Also loved his string heavy Charlie's Angels theme. So dramatic and iconic. Plus how many tv themes reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100??? (Theme from S.W.A.T, 1976)

    Ellen, you make this 56 y/o musician and product of the 1970’s & 80’s proud! As intended, a TV theme lures you in and you stay for the program. This was my way into watching Barney Miller, Sanford and Son (Quincy Jones!), Rockford Files (another great theme!) and many others. I hope you find them as enjoyable as I do, if not more so and keep up the great work! 🙏🎶

    This was the first thing I ever tried to play on the bass. I snuck into my uncle's studio when I was 12 and, ignoring his precious strat, I grabbed his beat-up Kingston. Only got as far as the basic theme but, I was hooked on the bass. He gifted me that bass when he moved to the opposite coast. It's one of my treasures.

    This Bass line is so good, that they really did not need the other instruments included in the theme song. The whole thing could have just been the Bass line. This was a really great rendition if it. I can't show evidence, but I believe every Bass player tries to play this as they are learning the instrument.

  • @davidcook284
    @davidcook284 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Look up Three Lives from Octavision. It’s an instrumental piece. Her dad is Hovak Alaverdeen, the incredible guitar player with the Mayones Guitars and tdhee Boogie Mark V tone in that video. I have watched that at least 40 times, it’s a great tune and has a very distinct Dream Theater sound and feel to it. He even got Victor Wooten to play the bass!!
      Hovak does amazing production work and recorded and produced that whole project from his badass studio. Much respect.

    I just turned 51 but I'm sure I was her age when that tune was a mainstay in my head.
    Gen Z is missing the beauty of weekly programming with a heart as we were lucky to experience.
    WKRP, Welcome Back Kotter, The Jefferson's...even The Beverly Hillbillies and Brady Bunch made more sense than anything Netflix provides.
    Regarding theme music that is.
    Awesome job young lady!!

    She's a musician first and rockstar 2nd. Which is the proper order. Sorry kid, but you got what they in the business call "it", and you couldn't get rid of "it" even if you tried. I look forward to seeing your journey to the top!

      That is how I always judge a Bass player. If they can't play Barney Miller theme song, they are not very good. Every Bass player wants to play this. You have to. A Bass player that does not play this Bass line, is like a flute player that never does any Jethro Tull.
