Wouldn't you like to know. OK, when was the last time you saw two bassists credited for one track? All I know is, Phil tracked it first, and then I overdubbed another track. Listening back to it, it's hard to tell which parts are mine and which parts are his, though I'm pretty sure the walking part in the middle is mine. Hey, I'll take a credit any way I can get it. And as Christmas songs go, it's a nice pick.
