Has been way too long since Ian and I got together so we whipped up a burning tune this weekend that got the blood flowing.  Ian busts out his signature funky wah wah like no one else can and rest is history.  Find a great groove and go with it.  Think you will dig this one.  Today is Herbie Hancock's 75th birthday, so I decided to go with some real funky synth playing here to recognize this genius and influence and also try and keep up with Ian.  Was tough, but pleased with the results.    Have to throw a nod to Billy Cobham's Spectrum with Jan Hammer and the late Tommy Bollin, as shades here of that great album too.  

Let us know what you think.  

Thanks as always for your time listening, your likes and shares.  And if you aren't familiar with the Ian's famous Scottish cooking, you can find him here....https://soundcloud.com/ian-tait

Thank you for following me. I enjoy composing electronic music, playing drums, writing stories and poetry. My wife's name is Glowie. I hope that you enjoy my original compositions. They come from my heart. I believe we are one in music, no matter what part of the world that we're from. The talent people share never ceases to blow my mind. Music is such a high. I quit drugs and alcohol 38 years ago. Found the high hidden where I was running from. It's in me. I wish you the very best in your ventures, my friend. You are welcome to friend me on Facebook as well. Sound Cloud is such wonderful camaraderie to share music. What a great way to say, "this is who I am".
