Melvin Sparks-A FUNKY Good Time.

March 5th, 2007

The night was set..there was a very nice crowd at the Main Pub in Manchester, CT. Melvin was in rare form I thought. You know, it is always good but there was this medley at the end of the night that just blew the house down. A Parliament and P-Funk type jam ensued out of the fog, and I know my head is still spinning from this funkin’ good time. We had real serious dancing grooves going on, sexy mamas out there shaking their booties and there was even a couple of your favorite WHUS DJ’s spotted in the crowd AND on the dance floor. In this conversation, Melvin tells a tale revolving around his first on stage experience with the late/great Mister James Brown.

Check out our chat right here: you dig.

    Melvin gives great interview always but this one is especially nice with his J.B. story! It all says so much about about both of them and the interviewer, Mr. G is a crack-up! He’s so into to it “you dig” and you can feel the love in both directions.
    Thanks Mr. G for giving the exposure so nicely to this great groove guitar innovator and acid jazz legend who so deservingly deserves it!
    Love,
    Nikki Armstrong

    I was there and this is all true. There was some interesting dancers and a whole lotta funky good times were had, i even recall Melvin saying Mister G a few times….I would go again and again.
