OldGit Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I depped a funk gig on Baritone sax last week ... I wasn't too surprised to see the audience fading about 2 minutes into each virtually identical Bootsy and P Funk tune some of which were 7 minutes long "'cos it is on the record" .. Bad tune choices and a blind obsession with the records from the bass player (dominant personality) spoiled it really. The whole room lifted for Car Wash and the bizarre encore of Night Boat to Cairo .. - weird choice. Still for deps you just gotta keep your gob shut, or filled with sax, mostly .. I had fun though and "make my funk a p-funk" has been circulating around my brain for a few weeks ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6stringbassist Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Anyone heard Brian Eno and David Byrne 'My life in the bush of ghosts', it's 28 years old now, but fantastically funky, and doesn't sound at all aged. It was at the time a very experimental album, they had no sampleres in those days, everything was done using tape loops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
