The Mixtape Volume 3

To all my loyal followers finally the Mixtape Volume 3 is done! After long deliberation, I have decided to make it available to everyone for free! With all the politics involved in releasing this particular mixtape, I would rather give it away, so enjoy! (Part 2 and 3 follow this one, if you want a broken down version with the song tittles hit me up)

George Clinton and the P funk all stars! My man Rev Shines opened up the night, killing it with a vast assortment of funk cuts, including Portland’s own Pleasure!

P funk got on stage at around 10 and George followed about an hour later. I was really impressed with average age of the whole crew. They were seasoned vets indeed.

What did strike me was how many members there were and only one tour bus (with trailer).

I counted 5 band members, 3 backup singers, 2 characters, George, and support crew of at least 5 folks. How does anyone get paid? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad they performed, but that was a traveling village!
