Mosaic Project, Hosmer Hall, Potsdam, NY

Notes from Mamafunk:

From Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ to ‘The World of Captain Beefheart’ straight to a show with the Mosaic Project, Whew! With more challenging projects up my every changing sleeve, stay tuned my peeps!

I first met Captain Beefheart at The Bottom Line, a club in the village in NY when he and the Magic Band altered minds including mine and thus began my exploration and love for Captain Beefheart’s lyrics and music. A one off performance of ‘UPON THE OH MY’ with Gary Lucas on guitar during a tribute to Captain Beefheart led by JesseKrakow was the catalyst for my performing with the Metropole Orkestra in Amsterdam tomorrow night, FEB. 17 @ 8:30 @ PARADISO. CO KLOET (really cool guy), invited me on GARY LUCAS’ suggestion, thank’s Gary, your cool too, we do our ‘glimmer twins’ dark sun glasses thing & you play a mean slide guitar! See all those who can make it at the Trout Mask Replica Bash!
