Love this space, and good to see the funk lives on! I thought I remembered seeing & meeting Taka gigging with Graham Central Station back in 1974 at a black student freshman orientation at Utica College. I didn’t register for school, but as a teenaged funkateer, that show almost sealed the deal! Love your works Taka B. Thanks to all the funk masters, lords, overlords, Gods & Goddesses! Blessings to you all.
