have you ever picked up a tamborine?
actually, if you have one nearby... pick it up.

that shit looks easy to play, doesn't it.

but i bet you can't make it sound like
ol' boy made it sound on "where did our love go?"


i was looking at the "standing in the shadows of motown" documentary last night... and i just realized that george clinton was right.

he said that motown and p-funk were similar,
in the sense that you had a handful of songwriters
giving songs to one bad ass band, and then
swapping out the lead singers.



this also made me realize why motown covers
never really worked. i mean, if michael mcdonald
was singing w/ the funk bros. playing behind him,
then those motown covers would work just fine.


but he doesn't have the funk bros. playing behind him soooo....




but back to the tamborine.
how. the fuck. did he get the tamborine to sound like that?

it looks so easy, doesn't it?
