I want to thank Ava first of all for inviting me to share a few minutes with you. At first, I was a bit challenged as to what I could bring to the party. That's when it hit me in a flash: spin some funky tunes with the common thread being the guitar chops of course... Whether it's the chunky scratch of a funky riff or the experience of a full blown mind bending run, for me it's always been about having good chops. I learned that from my friend Mike, who incidentally is the primary reason Fufu Stew exists.
This little mix contains just a few damn fine tunes with some damn fine chops that have been getting the maximum rotation here in the kitchen over the past month. Some common, some as easy to find as a needle in a haystack, but all cooked up to perfection. When it was finished, I "put my foot in it" to make it extra funky. I hope you dig it as much as I do...
