Hey Hey!
This is music to my ears. Too bad I won't be able to
make it to the gig in Chicago next Friday, but I'm
very glad to hear that Louis has re-joined the fold
and will be tearing it up again. I know Louis got a
lot of hype for being Mr. Thunder Thumbs, but he laid
down some serious straight basslines on all his
sessions. He was/is a monster, and I hope I get the
chance to see them live one day. BTW, I know that
Strawberry Letter 23 got the most hype, but the album
it came from(Right On Time) is one of my top 10
favorite CDs of all time. Just an incredible vibe and
groove they had there. Long live the funk.
