[Superman]

One of the bands I was in called itself a "funk" band and contained several players from the university's jass band. Excellent musicians and I did develop a small degree of respect for some of that stuff (Hey, I'm an incorrigible blues/rock kinda guy), but it wasn't KC and VP. It was Brecker Brothers, Tower of Power, stuff like that. And being a bass player I can report a strong positive impression of the bass player for Earth, Wind and Fire.

I'll continue on briefly..... Horns (we had two trumpets, a sax and a trombone) are very interesting in terms of audience impact. It seems you cannot just nap through horn music stirring your drink. When the horns played, we saw lots of faces. But in truth, when the horns sat down and let us rockers do some tunes (the guitar player was like me), that's when people danced off all that alcohol. Ha!
