Did He Say Toga Party?

  2. OK, Tom Towers! I get it now, conga! I just got back from seeing Five Alarm Funk at Phog (Mar. 9/11) and FINALLY! I feel as though I've redeemed myself. I missed FAF the first time you played here in Windsor (in Aug.2010?).
    I knew FAF was good from listening to your latest record, but I also knew that with all them horns and drums and guys up there that it's gotta be about the LIVE SHOW!
    -- Oh, it's good to be right sometimes! You guys have everything you need... musicianship, great songs, sweat, polyrhythms galore, charisma, near-nudity, and funk fuNK FUNK!
    The truth is I could only see what you were doing if I went outside and squinted through the fog on the front window - there was a crowd out there watching you.
    It didn't matter that I had no view, I could hear everything, and from the first song to the last encore I could not stop dancing, which is about as good as life gets...
    Thank you boys, ... such good boys, such nice boys...
    Go Tom Towers... play those congas!
