BOOTSY

Ever since that summer 1977 while helping a DJ at The Governor's Club in Baltimore, when he played MOTHERSHIP CONNECTION, I have kept Funk in a special part of my heart. Have never seen a live performance by any of the P-Funk permutations, but have much of the music. Tonight, courtesy of Richland County Public Library, Bootzilla, Bootsy Collins, came for a visit and chatted a little about his life. We would have gladly listened for several more hours. The place was packed. But I managed to get a seat close. The after part was loud music and dancing folk, as people sought pictures and autographs. It was fun.
