Oh, yeah. There's so many soul players in this broad area from Tampa to Naples to Brooksville to Orlando ... NOT! I doubt anyone but me has ever actually listened to a single soul record. The one radio show in this entire broad area -- the guy who played genuine satisfy your soul music is Jeff Stewart on WMNF. He played the kind of soul music where one could not sit still. Just the best of the best from 40's -70's, from King Curtis to Soul Stirrers to Boozoo Chavis to Lee Morgan and everyone in between. Soul music can't be done with machines, folks. It's a music that must be played from the gut -- 'cause the people know when it's phony and pretentious.
Oh. BTW. There are but a handful of actual soul musicians around the state. They're beautiful people. Down to earth far out wonderful great artists who make the sweetest sounds this side of Heaven. And none can get arrested barely in this God forsaken town. A pity 'cause this is still what the people can't get enough of.
Let's see if anyone else posts to this catagory. I doubt it. This is very, very shallow area where "musicians" can't play anything beyond tired Stevie Ray Vaughn licks and have no concept of playing rhythm or playing time or how to listen, when to lay out.

Just so ya'll know... I am a drummer who began playing with professional bands in the early 1970s - when FUNK and SOUL we're alive and well.... this is BEFORE DISCO!!! I grew up going to live shows (and later playing their music) for some of the top Motown/Soul/Funk/R&B bands of the era.... James Brown, The Temptations, Billy Stewart, Marvin Gaye, etc........ I've played or backed up several of the Day's Stars.... Ben E. King, Little Joe Cook & the Thrillers, The Coasters, etc... I now live in West Pasco county Florida - between Spring Hill and Tampa. If I could find the right bass player, singer(s), guitar, keys..... well I've tried and you're right.... these EXPERIENCED players are either working or no longer working. Contact me if you need a good solid in the pocket drummer: FunkFusion@live.com Happy 2012 Attachments:
