PS: To generate a bit of Bass interest in the Gord side of things, play him Ode to Big Blue to show the melodic/harmonic colors there for the taking in the right Bassman's hands.

Follow up w/ Sit Down Young Stranger to show the
absolute power of simlicity - when not to play - and point out how vastly the song takes new life
at the key change w/ the enterance of the Bass.
See if he noticed it was missing up till then.

Jack & Meg White do wonders as a duo, but when he plays piano he adds an old Fender Keyboard Bass (just like Ray Manzarack in the Doors Days)

Bassman is good . . .
