    I was at this show --- it was incredible! Bernie was overcome by all the love in the room. (Bootsy on drums is always a treat, too)
    Gonna miss you, my friend! R.I.P!

      I been checking out Berrnie on keys the last few months mainly because he's one of the Masters of the funk movement coming from the Parliament Mothership connection Boosie's rubber band and all them cats I grew up with. Being a jazz pianist I have a burning desire to play the funk and Bernie's the cat for me. Yeah he's bringing it down 🔻 down from the ✨ 🤩 baby!

    Tina Knowels said, we should give our artist flowers while they are alive. She is right. If we lose another great in 2016, I don't know what I'll do. The last few years have been hard. We better try and show love, tomorrow is not promised.

      @@leroyali4324 george admitted he signed away not only his rights but the bands rights without telling them which is why most members died broke
      Bernie composed most of the music from 1970 until he left in 1981i mean bernie arranged and put together a lot of the music most he wasn't given credit
      Junie Morrison and David sprawled was cool but they wasn't bernie every keyboard player that came after had to learn bernies notes, style and technique
      Danny bedrosian is cool but sorry he's not bernie and he's duplicating sounds bernie did and cloning his patterns
