- In this tutorial Familyman completes the trilogy of the 3 players that were the biggest influence on my journey as a reggae bass player. Here we dissect the bass part from the live version of Positive Vibration. As usual we pick out the nuggets that make Fams the complete reggae genius to all of us reggae lovers that grew up on Bob Marley And The Wailers.

PLEASE DO A FAMILY MAN SERIES! This was such a great video, and he has so many iconic bass grooves. I'm amazed how many bassists sleep on Aston, and even drummers on Carlton. They are an irreplaceable rhythm section.
As I admitted, I slept on Fams for a long time. My whole world changed when i was woken up.
I first started playing bass as a direct result of hearing and being inspired by Family Man on the Bob Marley & The Wailers albums. I saw him with Bob in concert five times in London during the Seventies. Later, sadly after Bob had passed, I was fortunate enough to meet Fams after a Wailers gig in Cambridge and he signed the back of my ticket. I was on cloud nine for days. He is the best! :-)
Sent this to my boss/friend Junior Marvin. He loves this. Recognizes some of his guitar licks in there. Says he still plays along with Fams licks to this day and knows all of his tricks. Good work you’re doing bro. Blessings. 🔥🔥🔥
I got a thumbs up from a Wailer. What more could I ask for. Thanks for sending my man👊🏾
This man is in another universe by himself,his style is his and only his alone. No one plays reggae bass like “Family Man” You simply cannot duplicate this genius.. The greatest ever..long live the bass!
Maan! Profound Sound!
man I am inspired , it is not by mistake that you are a professional bassist
RIP Aston "Family Man" Barrett 🙏🏿.
I definitely agree with you about Family Man, but I would have to include Earl "Flabba" Holt & Robbie Shakespeare among this list 💥💥💥
Love listening to Family Man plucking the bass lines in Bob Marley & The Wailers
My favourite bass player EVER....He literally shakes the floor...
👍👍👏👏👏👏
Those early Bob Marley And The Wailers. Aston low bottom was hypnotic.
Legendary bass player his basslines are SICK 🇬🇳
Mine too. So warm,melodic,groovy and creative.
Aston & Carlton Barrett were the Best Bass & Drum Rhythm Section ..
Ever !!!🎶🎶🎶
The real genius is that he effortlessly blends roots bass rhythms with a question and answer lick construction that’s right out of the funk textbook all while supporting the chords and keeping the whole song feeling musical.
Of how many baselines today can say that you can still get the whole song and top line changes hooks etc in your head while just the bass and backing track plays?
He can shoot straight and funky or drop back to some kinky roots vibe at will. He’s doing his job in the band supporting the changes all while having a blast and experimenting too.
What a true legend.
Thanks for this breakdown so I can appreciate the work on a new level.
You Hit the nail on the head brother. So much Bootsy going on. I’m guessing if we look at the timeline and who would of been around as an influence, young fams must of been influenced by Bootsy and Jamerson.
@@donstrumental8905 Fams, like all his generation of Jamaican musicians, grew up on Motown and North American soul in general... I don't think he could escape Jamerson's influence, as no bassist of any relevance could up to today. In fact i remember an interview in which Fams quoted JJ, the Motown sound, and the fact that both of them were going for that upright bass sound.
Well said. When you learn Fams’ basslines, a new world opens before you.
Due to circumstance I have switched from guitar in my rock band to bass. We have a reggae tune and that's why I'm watching. However, I am finding your video really helpful in general for whatever style the song we play. Thanks man.
Family Man & his brother are top shelf musicians.
Yep!!! Next level👊🏾
They Barrett bros are the real rhythm twins
@ RichardvBrown Yes. And their time feel together is so unique-Carly pushing, Family Man sometimes laying WAY back in that Family Man way ...
@@donstrumental8905 Carlton Barrett is my favorite drummer of all time in reggae music. Rest In Peace to him.
@@silajeep1 Even Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare were both influenced by Carlton Barrett and Aston ( Family Man) Barrett on bass and drums.
You have single handedly made me pick up my bass after a long time. Reggae baselines are the root of all my favourite music and sound system. Can't get enough of reggae bass
You're in the right place Ben and don't put that bass down again.
The only bass, reggae bass....but listen to Carlton on those cymbals...... awesome
I am glad that you could come round to Mr Aston Family Man Barrett, Because without him and his brother, Reggae would never be what it is today,And i know that some people
Will disagree,but that is ok for me.BOB wrote great songs, but their only a few Artist in the world you will hear their music without the voice and you can say what song it is.And
That is a talent and a gift by it self.
To have an identity on your instrument is more important than being a great player. There are many great players today but can you identify them when you hear them? Someone left a comment on the Flabba Holt video that Flabba wasn’t a great player. Even a deaf man can hear its Flabba. That’s what makes him one of the greatest.
My Ampeg V4B was played as backline by Familyman and a bunch of other reggae greats! Bought it from the owner of the company that provided backline and did production.
"It wasn't until the late 90's and I was on tour with Freddie McGregor..." What a great way to start out a sentence! Legend.
Fams thrived in the Wailers, the chord changes in the songs inspired him endlessly, it was a perfect match, all the musicians contributing something different all the time, not a regular type of reggae band, (If there is such a thing).The bass sounds melodic & free, laidback & in the groove, no wonder Miles Davis enjoyed the Family man sound..
I met Oteil Burbridge at Virginia Tech in 2002(?) when he played a small club with his band the Peacemakers. I said "Hey man, Im learning bass. You got any tips?" He smiled real big and said "LISTEN TO FAMILYMAN." Roger that!
Great advice from Oteil👊🏾
Oteil is a master himself ☀️
Aston "Fams" Barrett died today February 3rd, 2024. RIP...😢
Oh my God! The two Barrett brothers were SIMPLY THE BEST together.
Awesome lesson Don!!! That bassline is wicked and so powerful... Fam really is a ninja you're right I've listened and played Bob Marley tunes for years, and every time I come back to them after some time off, I find something new I hadn't noticed earlier in the bassline... and I mean almost everytime :p Keep up this amazing channel!! Large up, Nathael
Thanks Nathael, Fams is that movie you have to watch again to see what you missed the first time.
That's one of the magic of Marley music: you listen over and over and you always discover new things, not only on the bass, but in each part and the mix itself, if you are also into production.
Bob Marley's music in in a class all his own, and Fams had a big role in it. That's why Lee Perry knew he had to let go his house riddim section when Bob asked: history had to be made.
A vibe that reached every corner of the earth.
Man I love your videos and how you break down the architecture of the basslines so accurately. Sweet sounding bass too. Great work....
I appreciate that!
Beautiful breakdown of a BIG bassline. Many thanks. So much nuance and feel to that one.
For reggae loving bassists this video and this channel (and Glen Browne's Glen reggae bass lines) are priceless. I used to play in bands that did metal, classic rock, a little blues. Listened to a lot of jazz - Jaco, Stanley Clarke basslines. Then I heard Bob Marley and this song. First reggae song I ever heard. Fell in love. Tried to play the bassline and I couldnt get it right. Could play the fast Geddy Lee and Steve Harris stuff, but I couldnt play slow reggae songs with only two or three notes. Took me a long time to learn that less is more. The feel and riddim can be hard to play. Thanks Donstrumental!
Man you are so right about family man. He’s really the ninja of reggae bass.
A legend
I come to realize in reggae bass is lead instrument.Doesn't mean loads of soloing or riffing,.Means everyone else is following You.Family Man is superb.
Spot on👊🏾
Fams is amazing in babylon by bus, at the end of jamming he does this quick 16th note climb to the octave that is just so nice to hear, my favorite part of that version
Also 'Babylon By Bus' is considered the best engineered live recording of reggae period, listen to the metronomic consistency of 'Heathen' and the power of those low F notes.
The timing in Heathen is next level. It was a toss up between Heathen and positive vibration for this video.
Babylon By Bus is my favourite Bob Marley album. It just grooves so solidly and Family Man's tone on it is awesome.
Babylon By Bus changed my life
I bought this album when it came out and , War was the track that grabbed me, but as time went on , Concrete Jungle became my favourite, the Bassline is played like it’s telling a story , it fits the song so well
@@donstrumental8905 And Punky Reggae Party.. Not a single hiccup..a testament to their discipline
Absolutely nailed his tone and feel on this one. Just a little behind when he wants to be, but right in the pocket always. Been playing and teaching bass for years and this is the best tutorial on Barret I've seen. Suscribed without hesitation
Thats called improvisation, those unpredictable things like part 4 and the flat-ish notes at the beginning. Thanks Don! Family Man held the family together! And his brother was the hi hat master!
Many blessings I. You illustrated why Family Man was the music director!
Word sound power
Love Knowledge Music
BASS!!!!!!
Very interesting master class on a masterpiece, well done Don , I’m a lover of bass as a guitarist
Them to bros will never be replaced, but always remembered, "REST IN RIDDUM BROS!!!!!!
I’m a drummer, but Aston’s playing is sooo good!! I’ve recently picked up the bass because of him. Such groove, pocket, simplistic yet melodic bass arrangements. My top favorites he did with Bob Marley are ( Coming in from the cold, War, Crazy Bald head, I Shot The Sheriff, & countless more!) For anyone that wants to hear him and the whole band at their best IMO, check Bob Marley and The Wailers Live in Pittsburgh, PA 1980💯💯
Nice one mate! Your videos are awesome. For me, he's the best bass player that I ever heard. So much feeling for this beast. Greetings from Brazil ;)
I love the album "Babylon By Bus". I was lucky enough to discover this great album in high school and it remains a favorite.
I saw Bob Marley as a 17 year old in Sydney, best concert of my life still. There is so much that is interesting in Bob's music. It never gets old. I particularly find the bass intriguing and pretty special.
The music that heals the mind
I don’t even play bass but I love these tutorials. Brilliant job. Almost makes you want to start playing the instrument (but the guitar journey is still so long).
Bass is a good place to start
Learn both and the piano. It's worth it.
Bass Ninja ! I played a gig opening for the Wailers, talked to Fams, amazing ! There are also so many little ghost notes and 'dummy' figures in his playing. Check out a live recording of 'I Shot the Sheriff' where he completely flips the bridge by playing a triplet passage, such feel !
Fams was the most difficult to dissect of the 3. Still found stuff I never heard before while making this video. He’s a Ninja for real👊🏾
I think it is in live "in Santa Barbara".. Best rendition I heard on TH-cam. I was shocked that he played it like that. I was never too crazy about shot the sheriff but after I heard that version I was mesmerised.
Thank you for a ninja level analysis and breakdown. And those backning drums and guitars were perfect too! Please do many more songs from the "Babylon by Bus" album!
Definitely a part 2 has to be done👊🏾
Thanks man, great lesson as always. That shit when he sits on the high hat is really tricky.
"So late I thought it was a mistake". Dude I'm dying here, hilarious. Is it on the "a" of 4 e and a ?
Also one request if I may... It would be great if you could share more theory. Like the key, the chord being played over etc
Thanks man!
I think I did mention the key A major, but most of the song hangs around the relative minor F# if that’s not in the video then it’s on the cutting room floor. This video was originally around 35mins long👊🏾
Big ups Big ups!. I love your channel Bredda. Fam signed my bass twice, and his son also a crucial bass player too. Keep the fire burning King . Best Bassmon Channel I have sighted. Family Mon Gave "Rabbi" Shakespeare his first bass.✊🏾 I love your bass tones, I listen to your videos through the Studio Monitors. P.S. Carlton is beyond Chronic.... so crucial. Massive Massive RASPEX to you KING! I give Thanks for Your Jah works too seen.
Thank you for this, again! Deepest appreciation! I signed in two accounts to like it twice ;-)
I'm not a reggae player, just someone who plays bass and loves MUSIC, and so eventually diving into Family Man's playing on one of the first reggae albums I got growing up (Burnin') was intoxicating and expanding for me- that roots playing, subtle, supportive, and slightly dangerous and surprising underneath... so undeniably creative, so deeply connected and musical... love it, and all of the reggae grooves and players you are exploring and sharing. Excited to spend time there.
And-
In another comment, you mentioned not used to being out front, so you're still getting comfortable being featured on camera... well I have to add that one of the things I appreciate about your lessons is that you are more naturally focused on teaching us, (in a very economical yet thorough manner that also manages to serve all levels), than entertaining us or pumping us up, and that aspect seals the deal for me- *just* dropping the knowledge, exploring, explaining, and demonstrating so clearly is perfection for me!
Respect!
Thanks for the double likes thats a first for me👊🏾
This video was sooooo well done. I have GOT to start listening to some reggae...
Aston Family Man Barrett World best reggae bass player
I'm no expert on bass playing but just from listening, the difference between Family Man and other reggae bass players that I've observed. Is that family seems to play bass around Bob's vocal changes which makes his playing more melodious and interest. Other bass players finds a 1 bar melody and play that loop almost through the whole track with one change in the variation thrown in.
I would agree that the way the songs are written makes the bass lines more interesting. As the creator in the studio it is still down to the choices you make when recording, creating bass lines that stick in your head is not easy.
RESPECT BRETHREN. ONE OF MY FAVORITE BASELINES TO PLAY THOUGH I'M FAIRLY NEW TO THE BASS . 10 MONTHS TO BE EXACT. HOME TAUGHT TOO. JUST HAD TO MAKE A FEW LITTLE CHANGES. DON HEATHEN IS ON A NEXT LEVEL ON THIS ALBUM ( BABYLON BY BUS). ONE LOVE AND STAY SAFE FROM GUYANA.
Thank you, I used those exact words for Heathen, absolutely beautiful timing.👊🏾
@@donstrumental8905 yea man respect and keep up the good work and contents alive. one love
This question is kinda random but does anyone know why its quite Common in Reggae to Start a Song, Stop it and restart it live?
It's called a pull up. It comes from soundsystem culture. When the crowd shows appreciation for a song they like the selector (DJ) will stop the record at any random point and start it again from the beginning.
@@donstrumental8905 Thanks man!
The 7th note seems off( enough, that it's bugging the 💩 of me. A lot!).
Deadly! Keep on what you're doing, Don! Ever think about doing "How to play Leroy Sibbles" or "How to play Lloyd Parks"?
Both have to get the treatment👊🏾
@@donstrumental8905 Two great reggae bass players who are also genius vocalists. I never know for sure which of the Studio One riddims were composed by Leroy, but I can guess that most of the Heptones riddims were probably written by him. Give me the Right!
Alston and Carleton played a huge part in Bob Marley sound, they were awesome.
beautiful
Too much time talking.
Love this stuff, family man can place notes anywhere! How can I get a Riddim Up t-shirt by the way? Thanks for your work!
Absolutely correct about the note placement. Keep an eye on the merch store under the video for the T Shirt. 👊🏾
RIP Man what a half of the duo. 😢
You make my dreams come true Don. this is awesome. love you man.
Wow, thanks
Another one of my favorite Reggae Bass. Legends to study is George “Fully “ Fullwood Check the song by Peter Tosh - Feel no way.
Yeah, Fulllwod is great one.
Thanks Michael. Fully is a must to get the treatment soon👊🏾
DC, love the tutorials. Thanks for the insight and selfless information. One Love.
Another great vid Don. You have a really relaxed manor and that makes your tuition a cut above. You keep making these vids and I’ll certainly keep watching, excellent stuff, cheers.
Can you make a video how setting up a Reggae Amp?
Yes, Yes and Yes👊🏾
Bro no flattery and I don't know your history yet maybe I have a i if I end up finding out you some type of Legend but, you are a legend man you don't nobody else said man I would like very much if it is okay man if you teach people man I would like for you to teach me bass man like it'll be an honour bro if you could teach me how to play the guitar you already doing it by me watching you but I mean if it could be Hands-On bro recording music has been a dream of mine
Thank you. Don’t think I’ve reached legend status yet. I’m just documenting some of the history from the legends that opened the door for me to walk through. Send me an email to don@reggaebasshub.com
Don you are a modern day bass legend, embrace it, this guy is right!!!!
As a Jamaican American the bass and drum is always what my ear naturally keen to first before any other sound ...in music but especially on reggae music.
The trademark skank gets me first then i hear that famous bass and drum.
Fams is the pinnacle, and "Positive Vibration" is a marvelous portal into his magic. The attack and feel ... the subtleties seemingly improvised, and the "weight" and deliberation given to certain notes and phrases ... his unique swing and fluid propulsion -- it all really sets him apart. I've often felt like Fams' "process" might have been to compose "straightforward" lines, and then begin to remove anything he felt was too generic, obvious, or "expected" in favor of rests or Carly-influenced triplets. The Carly influence is the finishing luxury that the others weren't afforded. Hail the Blessed Brothers, musicians who whose profound vibration was the sublime, deep "feel" itself.
Thank you, Don!
I didn’t realise how integral Carly’s influence was until I was making this video. We have a drummer in U.K ironically named Carl. He has played with the wailers a few times. He is Carly reincarnated and whenever I play with him he makes me play so differently.
@@donstrumental8905 That's a most fortunate connection! What more can a bassie ask for? Wait, let me do it: have you also found a new incarnation of the amazing Lloyd "Tin Leg" Adams?
awesome lesson like always! thank you
My pleasure!
As a guitar player that recently started to practice the bass, I was looking for some insights on reggae bass and seems like a found just exactly what I was looking for! Those are some really nice videos! Very Insightful! Keep up the good work man!
Nice one Don.
You almost made me late for work when I saw you had put out another gem.
Haha sorry Nick and this one is a bit longer than usual too. Thanks for supporting👊🏾
There is so much in this video! From Glen Browne's channel, which is also amazing, to an in dept view of all that is going on in this song. I've been practicing your studio one basslines for a few weeks now (I'm new to playing bass). Also, you seem to be enjoying yourself more with each video which is great to see. Thank you!
Thanks Raymond. I’m so used to being at the back of the stage, putting myself upfront isn’t natural to me but gets easier with every video. Just happy that they are being received well. Keep practicing everyday and you’ll get there.
@@donstrumental8905 I can imagine that would be strange at first. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us! Thanks for the motivation!
I love rock steady music (like Phyllis Dillon ) would you be able to show their bass lines ? A lot of stuff seems to have a stuck rhythm (palm muted guitar doubling the bass line ) .
💯 Duke Reid and Treasure isle have to get the treatment. You’re talking about the guitar playing of the late Lynn Tate. He was the band leader in a lot of those recordings. Very distinctive style. Keep a look out.
@@donstrumental8905 ty
Excellent tutorial. Now I understand better how unique Family Man was. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
i'm very excited for Family Man part 2 :) i'd like to request a How To Play Reggae Bass Like Leroy Sibbles, please (maybe some Sound Dimension era, etc.)
Yes, can’t forget Mr Sibbles.
Sublime tutorial Don, and interesting intro. These videos are astounding! Richie
Many thanks Richie 👊🏾
I can't thank u enough for this, my hero 🤛🤛🤛🤝
Thanks Don, your contribution is much appreciated.
Very welcome
Really appreciate your channel. I have a question: I would like to learn how to start recording my Bass along with tracks. Please tell me what I need to get started. I have a Bass Guitar, amp and a SansAmp Box. Think I would need an Audio interface and Mic. What is required to get the Drum machine and music tracks without the Bass
All you need is an Audio Interface, something like a Focusrite Scarlet 2 in 2 out. Addictive Drums.
Family man is classic
I'm so excited
Great instructions….fantastic…sounds like real bass from family man ….👏🏻👏🏻
Fantastic video, Don. Part 2 is definitely a must, and when you are done please do a video on Ritchie Daley of Third World if you can fit it in. Rock on brother 👊🏾
Will do!
Yes yes yes bring it on
Beufifully disected Don. Being a veteran guitarist myself in reggae and a huge Bob Marley fan I thought I knew that Bassline, but they way you broke it down makes me realise how great that Bassline is and that I didn't know it half as well as I thought. Nuff respect Don, Keep doing what you are doing. You are definitely the go to man when come to excuting reggae bass
Thanks Ivan, I thought I knew it until it came to making this video😀
LOL!!!!!
Thank you,son for your tutorial on the ever greatest bass player. Always felt there was not enough focus on his playing. Big up! Earnestly waiting for further things from you on the same man.
Incredible, all the little rhythmic variations and the playfulness of being so late behind the beat & then on top of it etc. Great analysis, there’s lots here to practice, thanks
Ninja!!!
Thank you so much. This is the most intelligens bass style, the foundation, the roots style. Aston and Carlton were the best.
Couldn't agree more!
Exellent Tutorial,,,,,great Vibes, great insights into the genius of the great reggae music, Big Up Family Barrett and Big Ups to Bob Marley & The Wailers. Big Honours & Majesty to all the Great Reggae Singers & Players of instrument. what a powerful and mystical music.
Great video - thanks
Mr family Jah bless your soul,you was king ah the hill,pure fire ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Mine was reversed, started with Family man first
Brace for impact... Rastaman Vibration, Natural Mystic, Zimbabwe, Talking Blues, Sun Is Shining, and so many other Bob Marley, Family Man and his Brother's trademark masterpieces..
Thanks for this video... God bless family man... R.I.P Clarton barette 🙏
Anybody here to help?
Yeah I generally find myself consciously trying to avoid playing in rhythm with those chh-chh-chhh hats. When you DO though, it wrecks faces.
EDIT: still love the way you break it up into chunks!
BABYLON BY BUS:
My favourite Bob Marley Album.
I can remember as a youngster being do frustrated. I would ask what is the cold part of that song. It was how I expressed the feeling of bass lines. Goose bumps! Love bass bad
Nice bass brother soothing the soul bless 👍😁
Rest in peace the great Family Man
Fantastic tutorial, this actually cleared up a note of which I wasn't too sure of in section one (C note).
I have to admit I was also a late comer to "Fams" as I gravitated towards Robbie's kind of militant playing before eventually settling into Fams and his on / off behind the beat feels.
I had the pleasure of sitting down and chatting with Fams back in 2008 as our band was part of the first ever Raggamuffin Reggae Festival line up touring my homeland New Zealand and across the ditch in Australia. It's kind of funny as we never got to finish our conversation until mid 2013 when we met again on a tour in Brazil.
Thank you for presenting us with premium content.
Thank you, I guess your talking about the C that clashes against the B in the vocal. what’s your band? I’ve done Raggamuffin at least 4 times👊🏾
@@donstrumental8905 Yes that C, I admittedly sat on the B as it was in key with the vocal for I always got the serious looks from the band when I played the C note as it really attracted attention. I play bass for NZ reggae group Katchafire, we did Raggamuffin 2008, 2010 and 2012.
@@rastanz I watched you from side of stage. Think it was 2010 or 2012. Good band and your a solid player. I was playing for Ali Campbels UB40.
@@donstrumental8905 Thanks for the compliment, I try to stay in the pocket provided our drummy doesn't drum fill out of the blue in the most random of places... man how time passes, I think that was 2012 when you guys closed the Raggamuffin festival as Shaggy and Lauryn Hill closed the night of 2010.
You's played a solid set that night, I was blown away by the tightness of the riddim section and that earth shattering bass coming through the front house speakers.
@@rastanz I’ve been there when Shaggy and Lauren Hill have been there but can’t remember the year. The year Shaggy was there it was part of a Raggamuffin tour of Oz and NZ all a blur now👊🏾
Sweeeeet!!!! I don't play any instruments any more, played the recorder more than 50 plus years ago, and I love reggae music, but this was sweet to here all of this. Earned a sub immediately.....ill be back here again soon!
loving these lessons..Masters of Time and Space...Charles Mingus would have loved Reggae..
He had time to love it, he died in 1979, but I am not sure he ever did.
Reggae never really penetrated USA and the jazz world, as Afro-Cuban or Brazilian music did, unfortunately.
The British jazz scene, tho, has a strong reggae presence, also because many black British are of Jamaican or West Indian descent.
I never noticed how he wasn’t playing along with the melody in those parts , I was in a bob marley cover band for a while ( but as a drummer) same with those rhythm rests cool
Yasssss!! I was searching for this !
As a Bob Marley fan, I can forgive you for seemingly dismissing Bob Marley and the Wailers, especially because of your age !
I grew up with Bob’s music, caught the bug from the “Burnin” album as a 12 year old in 1973.!
Aston Barrett is a virtuoso bass player! No cap!!!!!
A Beast of No Nation !
That band made music that would last for eternity!!!
Thanks for featuring Aston Francis Barrett!
An absolute genius and musical maestro!!
👊🏾🇳🇬👊🏾🇳🇬!
thanks for mentioning Glenn Brown ;)
Don the whole family .an thing.....is like writing a . mathematical program.. ..to solve a complex problem. You only get it after the solution (bass pattern) is produced .
Hey Don, it’s been a long while. Only just found this video. Had no idea you were on TH-cam.
Hey Vaundel, how’s life. Still plucking those strings?
@@donstrumental8905 All good at the moment. Haven’t played in a few years. My wife and I have been doing more on the production side of things now.
