Otis Redding, The Staple Singers, Sam & Dave, Carla and Rufus Thomas, Booker T & the MG’s and a whole bunch of others were featured by the Joe McGinty 7 and The Losers last weekend. I was really excited to see this feature given that I am a Memphis guy. The show was great but man I wish that they did a little Black Moses. Sadly the show we saw didn’t feature any but it was a great time with The VQ and the Asian Fireman. On thing that was strange was that a lot of the normal players were off on Friday night but were playing on Saturday night. Well as long as Donahue look a like Mike Fornatale and Carlton Smith were on it was going to be a good one.
By the way, great job singing the classics. I have to say that singing some of the original Stax songs “Walkin the Dog” is hard to do if you don’t have that voice. David Milone did The World’s Oldest Teenager proud!
We were in the back this time. I swear we have not sat in the same seat in this joint.

Who doesn’t love a little Bee Gees A Cappella?
Belize and ACMB Fans (lets see if any of you feckers read this) Doesn’t the Bongo Player look like Ken F of Ken and Mel? Sorry to hear of Ken’s passing. He will be missed.
Yep I was texting UWS Holly who was +6 hours ahead of us in South Africa. It was worth it!
Even Bjarni/Clem was impressed with their rendition of “Grease” or Lubricant as they said they were to be singing.
Vivian getting ready to slay the dragon!
She did great!
Ahem Maria, can you get me a copy of that!
The incomparable Anna Copacabana!
Joe Closing us out!
I need some Bongo’s! Everything is better with Bongos!
I pretty much peed down my leg laughing from this duet.
Yes she is wearing a Kaftan and probably sporting a “bump it” too!

Why is my bartender from Max’s behind the drums?
You mean to tell me that you don't have Sweet Tea?
