Clone to funk

[Newcomer]

What in the name of funk is a person to do on April 25 after the Fest ends? The grids tell me that Zigaboo's Funk Revue is at Tip's, with Ivan among many others, while Leo is funking with Dumpstaphunk at Howlin Wolf at the same time. Can we convince them all to be at one place at the same time? My head hurts.

And don't forget Papa Grows Funk at the Leaf that night too (followed by Groovesect late night). Come to think of it, growing funk might be a way to help you clone...

Not to add to your confusion, but you could come out to the old point and see one of the originators of Deep Soul and Funk (the Meters were backing her in the studio before they were the Meters), Betty Harris. She is the bomb, no ifs ands or buts. And we may have a smaller venue and a smaller budget, but we will have a killer 10 piece soul band and special guests. Tix on sale soon at www.marcstonemusic.com. Here is an excerpt of a review of Betty's show at old Point Nov. 9th (her first full concert ever in NOLA):

Betty Harris, on the list of the greatest soul singers of all time, gave a knock down, drag-out-all-the-emotion performance at New Orleans’ Old Point Bar on St. Algiers Point. Some of the city’s finest back-up musicians were there to support her in the person of Marc Stone’s Band, and the 200 plus audience that crammed into the funky little West Bank neighborhood bar was knocked flat by a performance that happens once in a lifetime.

Marc Stone had put heart and soul into bringing Harris down from Atlanta to return to the city where she cut many of her original records for Allen Toussaint’s Sansu label in the 1960s. Intuition (Evidence Records), produced by Jon Tiven, is Harris’s first release since she defined the term “funk” with the explosive “There’s a Break in the Road”.
Harris still knows her stuff, the band delivered, and the audience knew it.
The past aside, Harris was in absolutely unbelievable voice as she played it all out over the Algiers’ levee. I would suspect people heard her across the river at New Orleans’ City Center. This was no small feat with a horn section that only the Big Easy could deliver. The audio engineer commented that even without a monitor Harris was able to bring it home because R&B singers of her day worked without a net all of the time. Hurricane Betty Harris did not disappoint, and the guys were blowing hard to keep up.
Harris was all elegance and soul, diamond ring catching the lights as she worked the crowd to their knees, begging for more.

Only 200 people saw Harris at Old Point, so listeners probably won’t be disappointed with her Nashville-backed CD, Intuition. But, it is unfortunate that the Nashville band sounds flat and uninspired compared to New Orleans’ best. It would be fun to hear a recording with Stone’s band, a band that knows what soul is all about and is able to meld perfectly with the performer and support the emotion.

Sounds Cool. Say, did your Campbell Bros CD ship yet?

[Marc Stone]

Hey Mich, no Campbells CD yet, thanks for being patient. Rumor has it that i should have them in 2-3 weeks.
Hope you can make it to see Betty, she is serious business. Her last show at old Point was a high like the Campbells' shows (and I don not say that loosely). Should be a very heavy weekend.

Marc, all I can say is thank goodness you booked Betty for SATURDAY too! Thanks for putting this together and I can't wait to hear the Campbells' CD.
