"Get on Up" I took my mother to see this movie. We fully enjoyed it. We discussed the civic and cultural strength of the stands and messages which James Brown brought in his music. He was a trans-formative figure and given in his time to come along when America needed the messages he put forth through his music. He was a musical genius in understanding how to go beyond the formality of script to make music do things that 'inspiration and creativity can do". I remember the first Bass Guitar I bought, I practiced James Brown Songs because he had solid and exploratory bass lines. I never took any lessons, because I always thought there are so many sounds possible, and there is no rule that states it has to be any particular way. As time moved along, the bass became even more creative in how music was expressed. I currently have three Bass Guitars, One is a Pre-CBS Fender Precision Fret-less, and I one Kawai, made in the 1980's, I had it modified with slightly. I also added DiMargio pick-up to the Fret-less. I have a Shaffer short neck, which I installed a heavy metal pedal in the back side, ( it is radical), I have a Pre-CBS Stratocaster, and I have a Old, Fender 88 Key Piano ( very heavy with its case and stands). but I generally play around on a Casio Privia..., (by some means, I've broken the "C" key in multiple places, because I bang on it heavily, (odd)... It's quite interesting, as I've not attempted to play the bass guitars in more than 12 or so years, but when I was younger, I thought I'd never go a week without playing it. Back to the Movie... It's amazing what the power of the human spirit can do and the challenges it can rise above and how a single spirit can impact the world and bring many things to many people. James Brown did a lot... The later years of challenges cannot over shadow the good and the amazing music he had and the message he carried forth. When Interesting moves come along, I like taking My Mother to see them, as she is in her 80's but very much up to date on current affairs and she is very very smart. Even when I talk about things of the computer she grasp it better than some of the young people at work. She is now at her 'third computer"... although she likes games, I'm trying to get her to get the internet but she is not sure if she wants it, I upgraded her phone to a SMART PHONE, and she is learning it, but I think its about time to get her a newer model, it probably would be better for her and much more ease to enjoy. The movie was a good outing, which she enjoyed, as did I. |

I've watched a lot of Interviews with James Brown since the Movie came out, he was truly a positive figure with very solid principle and excellent policy in his manner and mode of pursuing his objectives.
