Breakin' Bread in Greensboro
Look who I caught in at the Piedmont Blues Festival in Greensboro on Friday night...
None other than the Best Sideman in Show Biz...Fred Wesley.
What more can you say for Fred Wesley? The trombonist and a mainstay in the James Brown led J.B.'s made up one of the best rhythm sections of all time. He put on a great show in Greensboro last weekend, and what made Friday night more special is that most of his current band are now living in North Carolina.
Just goes to show you how NC can bring the funk...;)
Here's an excerpt from the back cover of his solo album from 1974. All of the album's selections were written and arranged by Fred and James.
"So many times we refuse to go back and break bread with our parents, relatives and old friends, even our high school classmates. Times are tough, the economy is rough, everybody's tryin' to make a dollar. Sometimes you get away from yourself. Won't you go back and break bread while we still have some to break. - James Brown - Bob Both - Fred Wesley.
