One thing I appreciate about James Brown is the frequency with which he asks his band mates and listeners if they’re feeling alright

Dave Mason asked if we were feelin' alright, then shared that he wasn't feelin' too good himself.

"Y'all feelin good?"
(Yeah, yeah)
"Need something to drink?"
(Fresca if you've got it)
"Fresca! Fresca. Fresca on 4, 1-2-3-4!"

“We’re gonna mess a with that Fresca, OW”

"I need a TAB! Got to have a TAB! Fred?! Hit me with that Trombone TAB!"

Also don’t hate this.

Oh god yeah

He’s also helpfully guiding people to cross bridges.

Also he gives the drummer some which is nice for the drummer

He also was notorious for fining band members when they messed up. Hopefully @rotopat.bsky.social isn’t inspired to do the same.

James Brown always has helpful suggestions for how to bring it on home

“HEYYYYY!”

There are two steps here. First you hit it, then you quit it.

“I said James I love your stuff he said SABADA DOOBUTT”
