  • This is a video/slideshow of how a mind can be creative and open in a positive way, there's no limits to anything that you can do.
    Edited by Dougy52
    It's not the best, but still needs some work on effects. Any suggestion is welcome.

    I caught Lonnie and his band jamming this in DC in the late '70's with his little brother doing the lead vocal on this cut. Brother Lonnie was jamming and leaning on the keys with this jam. I still play this album and introduce my grandson to it. Thanks Dr. Smith.

      Exactly! It’s timeless because it talks of G-d consciousness, which NEVER gets old, and was never young either. 😂 G-d is the absolutely coolest force for good in this UNIVERSE. Every person with this consciousness that seeks to feed it? Should learn Chassidut/Chassisdus with a Chabad or Breslov Rabbi or Rebbitzen. They’ve got teachings on G-d Consciousness that will make your creative mind fly! Judaism goes far BEYOND race, time and place. G-d consciousness is in the MIND and learning the spiritual aspects of Judaism, builds the MIND. It’s like a transportable secret sauce that’s available to ANYONE! Seek it.

      FORBES OG Insanely junk-jazz I know of that still fux up dance floor. I saw Mark Farina a few months ago and even though I had listened to this gem for years, there was something else being heard by a mass group of people. As a 49 year old black chick who grew up with jazz, dance music, and experimental music, I was THRILLED to hear him spin this song. I actually freaked out with happiness

    Fantastic track ,great conception of music, as in the time of John Coltrane, and "My favourite things", music can also be developed with just two chords. To communicate something with music you do not need the singing virtuosity for example of the opera (which I partly hate, and here on the Italian side, we are tired of Bocelli & company), we want to return instead to the authentic funk and musical culture of the 80s , with the best musicians on the planet. Exceptional here also the flute, even if in this version, a little cut ..
