      Regular drummer was caught in traveling traffic. Drummer in this video had about a day to learn the songs for the gig, Think Jara Harris mentions this at the onset of the show.@@skipsmith743

    First time hearing this group and I am enjoying their cover version of all the Funk Songs I play as a DJ. I been in the business for over 45 years and they are "DOING THE THANG". Kudos to your fill-in drummer. I would definitely party with you guys on any given night. Keep On Keeping On!

    Wooooow! Happy they are still around! I first saw them in San Diego, back in the 190s, at the Street Scene Festival. A few years later I saw them at the Lighthouse in Hermosa Beach. I grew up in two families with numerous musicians. What impressed most about this group was that, they kept switching instruments. It seems like all of them could play any instrument. I'd never seen that, onstage anyway. I will have to see them again. I hope they have Instagram or Facebook.
