Deborah Bond Show/ Say You Will
Soooo, Friday I went to the Black Cat for a show. My gurl Deborah Bond was headlining the show. I've posted a few of her tracks here before (look in the archives). Opening the show was Bilal Salaam (I missed his part, and I have no clue who he is) and Angela Johnson.Angela Johnson is formerly of Cooley's Hot Box. She has a really nice voice and really good songs, but everything was really....safe. Kinda tame.... I was expecting more, especially in light of Deborah's show, which was all out massively insane energy. I guess there are limits to how far the opening act can go. Plus she was seated at the keyboard the entire time. Having said all that, I will check for more of her solo stuff. Her new release is called Got To Let It Go.
Deborah's set was off the hook. She is wild on stage. She couldnt stand still to save her life. Dancing all over the stage. Dancing with the audience. The band, Third Logic is dope too. Saxaphone, flute, accustic guitar, congos, the whole nine....Think there was a Tuba on stage as well...lol. Plus some sexy back-up singers too. And forget all that pretty stuff. They busted out with a Funkadelic song. Thats when I knew it was on for real, for real. My favorite part of the show had to be when she sang "This Is Me" although I had the always troubling dilemna of how to sing the female part of the song. Do you change it to male parts or sing the female parts and hope nobody is looking at you??....decisions decisions....lol.
Other than coming home smelling like an ash tray....it was a good night. 2 snaps up...IN A CIRCLE!

The song of the day is from Sly and the Family Stone. From the 1974 album Small Talk, which has some (in my opinon) spectacular moments, however is overlooked in favor of the group's earlier, more classic material.
