A good friend asked me to play at his birthday party along with a few other folk. One of the things he does is every now and again send me links to YouTube videos of various funk tracks. And when he asked me to play, he said I had to play something funky.

Now, if you know my music, you'll know that 'funky' isn't an adjective that normally springs to mind.

But I did have this one old track.

So, 4 days before the gig, I thought I'd dig it up, prep it & learn it.

It went pretty well - though my brain to fingers comms need to get a bit quicker. But I'm thinking of getting it all a bit tighter & keeping it in the live set.

I know it needs a bit more work (the improv solos are a bit ropey!), but it's nice to keep a record of where it started out live - even if it does expose my sloppy playing to the world (or, at least, the dozen folk who may watch this video...).

What do you think? Is it a keeper?
