This past Saturday night, K-dog, his cuz sanchmoat, and myseLf
trekked down to cLub good hurt http://www.goodhurt.net/
to ceLebrate Norwood's birthday, TruLio styLee...
http://www.pfunk1.com/truliodisgracias/
aLong the way, we saw the phosphorescent aLgae
gLowing purpLe in the crashing waves aLong the pacific coast highway.

We arrived around 10:30, greeted by a pLume of Luscious incense smoke
so sweet and pungent, something toLd me this was a puff-friendLy neighborhood.
'wood was chiLLin' at the bar as a succession
of foLks Loaded in Lots of drums and horns. Then everybody put on funky costumes
and started heading out the door. We kept waiting for the show to begin,
than sanch suggested we run out to the car for a smoke.

Stepping out onto the sidewaLk, we saw the marching band on its way:
20 deep, Led by majorette norwood, aka Doo Wah Duty,
they ambLed into the hospitaL-themed bar
pLaying poLyrhythmic paradiddLes punctuated with puLsing horn parts, and sLowLy
assembLed onstage in a suLtry samba. The horns, two trombones, trumpet and sax, were KILLIN" it!!!

This was the Superbroke Brass and Tin Marching Band Ensemble

They Left the stage as they came, inna marching band styLee,
exiting with a rousing version of the SpeciaLs' Enjoy YourseLf..
their mission to Loose the sphincter of the worLd was successful
and I gotta say they were smokin' (take that however you want)...

I saLute them...


TruLio hit the stage at about 12:30
with Bronx StyLe Bob, Audra, Mark Cross, JeLLybean, MegaNutt, Vicki CaLhoun, 419,
and many others joining Norwood.
Much of it was next shit, created on the spot/in the moment,
butt Vicki took over a coupLe times,
first teLLing Lonnie to get on the bass and bust out
the FUNKADLiC cLassic Red Hot Mama, and Later dedicated WhoLe Lotta Love
(yes, she tore up some Led Zep) to the birthday boy.
There was def-innateLy a whoLe Lotta Love onstage and in the cLub,
good times and good vibes at goodhurt...

Vicki teLLs me there is taLk of a TruLio tour (west coast) toward the end of November,
don't miss that...


We gave MegaNutt a ride back to hoLLywood, and stopped for a snack at Astro Burger.
He toLd us about the funk cLass he teaches at the SiLverLake Conservatory,
and we shared some nuttstalk stories going back to '94...
weapon of choice is at the tempLe bar this friday,
gonna get nut up aLL over again.

and we fLy...
