  • A jaw dropping marathon rendition of Michael's song "Monkeybusinessman" from his album "Thonk". I've seen him play this a number of times, this might be the amazing performance of the song yet. Live at Godfrey Daniels Coffee House in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Visit him at www.manthing.com and tell him you saw this video here.

      @@swettyspaghtti Oh ya I went down the Micheal Hegdes rabbit hole after discovering Manning. The youtube algorithm is amazing sometimes when I get suggestions like that. Hedges is pure ear candy. If you like that fingerstyle guitar you should check out Andy McKee....try a song of his called drifting. czcams.com/video/Ddn4MGaS3N4/video.html

    Manring's playing isn't necessarily my preferred style, but you have to respect his uniqueness and amazing advanced skill sets on the bass. He's incredible!

    I love the emotion & journey that Mr. Manring provides with his bass. A true innovator that made the bass a solo instrument but also added a new signature sound to any band / project he works with. 'Thonk' was mind-blowing for its time and his "structured improv" trio, Attention Deficit, was dynamically experimental & awesome. I was lucky to get to see him play 'Equilibre' with David Cullen &(surprise drummer) Mark Walker (who added an awesome layer). If you live in California and don't make an effort to see him, you're missing out big time...

    Anyone who watches this video is seeing one of the very best Bassists who has ever lived.
    And most people don't even know it - because they aren't musicians etc . . But Bassists know for sure.
