shuggie!

The kiddo and I just went to see Shuggie Otis at Metrotech Center in Brooklyn:

He was great. Amazing guitar player, and honestly, I hadn’t really thought about it before, but I was a little shocked at how much Prince has borrowed from Shuggie’s music. Dayum.

All of the musicians were amazingly talented, and played well together. The kid enjoyed the music, but said it was too loud (we were right in front of the stacks). And, best of all, there were a trio of elderly black ladies sitting right behind us doing a running commentary/editorial on the music. Loudly. 

"Damn, Shuggie, that was a weak ending! Don’t you think that was a weak ending Gladys? I agree. WEAK ENDING, SHUGGIE"

snort.
