Whoa! This one went viral.  Here is the full hour podcast interview and below is a half hour of video interview with George Porter.  As the bass player of the Meters, George Porter, Jr. defined one of the most influential styles of popular music. It's now called "Funk."  Beyond that he's on a million records including all the killer material coming out of the Sea-Saint studio in New Orleans with cats like Allen Toussaint, Earl King, Lee Dorsey, Johnny Adams, Irma Thomas, The Lastie Brothers and later with people like Paul McCartney and John Scofield, (check out Sco's Piety Street Album!)

George Porter Jr. and his Funky Friends will be in performing in New York City Saturday, April 16, 2016 at  American Beauty - 251 W. 30th st  6:30pm 9:30pm. Tickets here
