    I just got back from the show tonight and I am "whipped" after 3.5 hours of Victor Wooten and
    his "Soul Circus".
    But whipped in a good way, kinda like the way that one might be "whipped" after many hours of
    "good sex".....lol

    I'm not going to review the show, but here is a quick summary...

    "Chaka Khan, Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorious, James Brown, Led Zeppelin, Funkadelic, Jimi
    Hendrix, Stanley Clarke, James Jamerson, Meters, Marcus Miller and more all rolled into one
    plus the artistic majesty and on stage showmanship of the Victor Wooten "Soul Circus".
    Anyhow....

    Victor and crew wanted me to let you all know how thankful he is for all of the support from
    Soul-Patrol and he once again as per all of the other reports he also acknowledged that from
    the stage.

    The show was SOLD OUT
    It looked to me like there were somewhere around 1,000 folks inside of the Theatre of Living
    Arts (TLA) tonight on South Street and to my surprise about 20 percent of the audience was
    Black.

    That's telling me that Victor Wooten is no longer "our little secret".
    (the word is getting out there)

    And of course it was a GREAT show.
    Anyone who missed out on it, missed out on some history!

    Thanks to Billy Paul/his wife Blanche and Giant Gene and his wife Terri for coming out
    tonight.
    And thanks to ELP & Dr. Brookenstein for coming out.
    (I'm not going to write a review of the show, one or both of them will :))

    And last but not least, thanks to Eddie Bowman our Philadelphia Soul-Patrol Coordinator for
    organizing things.

    Next up for Soul-Patrol/Victor Wooten is Chicago then Cleveland and finally Los Angeles.

    (and now I'm gonna crash....cuz I really am whipped.....lol)
