Will it go round in circles? It sure will you BAD BOY!

The Joint Chiefs are OFF THE FREAKIN' HOOK in my book.

I'd be your roadie (and occassional sit-in drummer) if you guys would let me!

Masterful Neph! I love the snap of your snare drum and the funky interplay you Guys enjoy when listening to each other's Funk!

Billy Preston wished he were as animated as you guys cover this tune.

I am simply funkified this afternoon here in Atlanta., and on a long deserved weekend.

Thanks Don for getting me off to a GREAT START!

P.S. You and the Gents play man. Others need to listen more intently if they haven't. I love it.

Thanks, Uncle,

This band of fellas play well together. That in itself makes me sound good. I'm of the firm belief that if the band sounds good completely, then that's a feather in my cap. I try not to play in such a way that I "stand out". I feel that if I can somehow be a part of what makes everything right happen with the music, then I'm going to sound good, even if I'm not up to the technical level of everyone else. A perfect example of this is Rick Laird, the bass player for the Mahavishnu Orchestra. He's not what one might consider a "monster player", but everything he did was complimentary to the music he played and to the musicians he played with. That came back to him full circle by establishing him as a major player in the band, and the benefit of that was he sounded good along side everyone else.

I try to approach whatever music I play in this manner, as I know you do also.

Here's one from the recent Reno (Sparks) Nevada series.

Thanks again, Uncle.
