23rd Psalm for Jazz Bassists- Tom Gale?

The Lord is my drummer, I shall not rush.
He maketh me to lay out in tasteful places.
He leadeth me beside cool meter changes;
He restoreth my "one".

Yeah man, though I read through the trickiest of charts,
I will fear no train wrecks;
For You are with it.
Your ride and your snare, they comfort me.

You setteth up a solo for me
In the presence of mine guitarists.
You annointeth my lines with drive;
My groove overfloweth.

Surely good feel and swing will follow me
through all the tunes of each set,
And I will dwell in the pocket the whole gig long.
Amen.
