We do almost a whole set of funk. Thinking about showing up with a guitar with only the E B and G strings on it. Our bassist really likes funk and is really great at it. I usually work out the keyboard parts and mix in the guitar here and there. And of course shred licks throughout.

Ewaf was on heavy rotation in our 8 track players in our vehicles back in the day. It just popped into my head but Pablo cruise was another one. Weird the things we remember….

Pablo Cruise ruled!!!
Huge here in Hawaii due to the surf culture embracing his music he contributed to a massively popular surf movie called Free Ride



and the movie’s title track performed by some folks this place should easily recognize—what a great era of music!
