R.I.P. James Brown

I know everyone's already talked all about his legacy, but his music was very important to my personal musical development. He's the reason I have the rhythm that I do today, learning the rhythmically complex basslines at such an early age set me up to handle easier stuff with ease.

I could go on and on, but I won't,

Not now anyways....

Dig this real short taste of the Godfather at work, and dig the soul sister who jumps on stage to shake her thang, dig the way he plays along! (Warning, video cuts off abruptly)

Thank you for helping me to remember how wonderful he was to watch and listen to.

What greater legacy could he have than to have helped influence you to follow your calling.

It is kind of from an old song I used to hear at funerals.

"If I can help somebody as I travel on, then my living shall not be in vain"
