Pure dumb luck. I barely knew who Fela was. He was supposed to be first of a three act concert at Great Woods. It was going to be Fela, then Toots, then Jimmy Cliff. I was all about seeing Toots and, because of schedules, we were going to arrive shortly before Toots got on and miss most or all of Fela. I think Fela objected to being the opener, though, so Toots went on first. When we arrived, Toots was almost over, and Fela was next. Fela did something like an hour set with three songs. Mind. Blown. I think Jimmy Cliff is great, but after Fela . . . . Anyway, go see Femi. As for today's Daily Dose in the funk realm, well, I'm kinda obsessed with the Meters. If that's wrong, then I don't want to be right. It would be hard to come up with a better name for this song than "Ease Back."
