So... we're gonna play some "classics"- but you might not recognize a couple of them. Anyway... this is what I'm thinking today setwise: Pressure (written by Blood Ulmer) Make Them Dance (written by Defunkt) Jazz is the Teacher Funk Is the Preacher (written by Blood Ulmer) Eye on You (written by Shannon Jackson) We All Dance Together (written by Defunkt) Small World (written by Shannon Jackson) Glad To Be In America (written by Blood Ulmer) Strangling Me With Your Love (written by Defunkt) in addition: Vernon suggested we play: Bra (by Cymande) and Shannon has always wanted to use the groove from: Ecstacy (by the Ohio Players) for a harmelodic jump-off point- so we will one" http://myspace.com/melvingibbs test | |
