Head-banging? Hmm... Thanks Char. My version of funk -- the groove and heat that defines funk for me -- started with Sly Stone, and only gets faster, with the rare exception, such as the Meters. The dedication? I'm almost speechless. Check out my latest song called Call Me (Turn to Me Reprise)

My goodness... Bob--this is FANTASTIC!!! Just when I had given up...you come along. It's wonderful and I know Ed and Jeanne will get a much needed charge from it too. Best wishes to them both and thanks Bob for sharing this! Check out my latest song called Old Man Mose is Dead

Foaming at the bridge Thanks, J. I think it's the big hunk of foam I stuck under the bridge that lets the bass notes be heard. Foam is good. Check out my latest song called Call Me (Turn to Me Reprise)

Funkalicious... Really like the way the different guitar tones interweave and the underlying riff that keeps things together. JD has a funk challenge up and running at the moment (due October). You should consider signing up. Take care, Peter. Check out my latest song called Autumn Falling

I saw the funk forum, and... I know! I was tempted to hold-off on posting this because it took me six months to post this one since the last! But maybe I'll have something new in this vein by October--could happen! Thanks, Peter. Check out my latest song called Call Me (Turn to Me Reprise)

Noise waits for No.1 Tanks! I hit on that little one-liner from Third Stone from the Sun as I improved, hence the "Sun" in the name. Before that track, I was going to name it something like "Funk Sketch No.1" Check out my latest song called Call Me (Turn to Me Reprise)

Funk in the Sun I really dig all the old school tones and feel starting with that fat bass. That bass is right out of a James Brown or Meters record! The wall of cool guitar tones is great! Check out my latest song called Just Ain't Worth a Song (2 Track)

Where da horns? The basic chunky riff has been in my head ever since I was a single-digit year-old with a transistor radio glued to my ear listening to Sly and the Family Stone. The wall of guitars is all I have to fill-in for the horn section I had in my head. Maybe someday I'll find a horn player to jam with!? Check out my latest song called Call Me (Turn to Me Reprise)

No, it's not a word, but neither is "craptastic," and it's one of my favorite words. So I'm all-in on "funkalicious," and thank you very much, Ms. Birdie. Recording the song was just another proverbial tree falling in the forest; nobody heard the direct-in instruments, though I do wish I could again plug-into my old Fender amp and get those tubes glowing again. And the dedication continues... Check out my latest song called Call Me (Turn to Me Reprise)

Jimi Santandrix? Carlos Hentana? Unlike those guitar gods, I didn't burn the world (or my strat) down. But I definitely carried the ('60s and) '70s into my 50s. Speaking of the 70s: In another tune -- collab trax on Slopart's "Good Time Girl," I snuck-in the riff to "Rock 'n' Roll Hochie Koo." None of the dang yung'uns noticed!

It's been a while since I've been here... I'm trying despite so much going on that's been keeping me from making more noise. I'll keep trying. And yup, that's a Jimi riff, hence the "Sun" in the title of the tune (as opposed to the planned "Funk Sketch No.1" !!!) I love sneaking those little homages in! Thanks for listening.

Thx, Ted. Glad you like "scratchy."
