R.I.P. James Brown

I know everyone’s already talked all about his legacy, but his music was very important to my personal musical development. He’s the reason I have the rhythm that I do today, learning the rhythmically complex basslines at such an early age set me up to handle easier stuff with ease.

Not now anyways….
