funky fred 2

I've decided I need to say more about fred.

He used to be music director for James Brown and also played in Funkadelic.  And for lots of other cool people.

Seeing a gig like that really makes me appreciate living in Sydney.  I complain a lot about it being too big and busy, but for that reason, we get artists playing here who would never go to Brisbane.  Fred didn't play Brisbane. I've seen other artists who didn't go to Brisbane too - Sonny Rollins for example.

I loved the syncronised movement of Fred with his trumpet player - it looked cool.

At one stage everyone had their hands in the air.  I was wondering if we were in church all of a sudden.

The bass player had knobs on his bass that glowed.
