Bobby began his professional career at age 15 with Bo Diddley, but he achieved wide attention at age 16 for his distinctive picked and muted bassline on Sly Stone's “I Get High On You” (from Sly's 1975 album High On You ). Since then he has contributed his soulful feel and incredibly dynamic playing to a long list of world-class artists including: Billy Preston, Booker T., Paul Butterfield, Joan Baez, Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, Santana , Tower of Power, Etta James, Zigaboo Modeliste, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Jefferson Starship, Babatunde Olatunji, Kitaro, Ronnie Laws, Hubert Laws, Lee Oskar, Melvin Seals, Cold Blood, and Zero with Steve Kimock.

Terrence Houston is paying his dues and paying homage to all those that came before him. I was lucky to be able to catch him on his recent tour with George Porter, Jr. He stays on top of a tight schedule between 3 bands at different stages of touring, gigging, and recording.He draws inspiration from varied drummers from Paul Barberin, Early Palmer, and Zigaboo Modeliste to Thomas Pridgen and heavy metal of the 90's. You can see him on tour with George Porter, Jr, Toubab Krewe, and Slugger. http://www.georgeporterjr.com/https://www.toubabkrewe.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/1XBvJ36SQR3nOGyvEtgMB4?si=Zz8W1U4lTTyqG0NngnqTegIG: https://www.instagram.com/grooveguardian/?hl=enFB: https://www.facebook.com/TerrenceGrooveGuardianHoustonAlso check out his presentation at the New Orleans Music Museum. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZDogczdsmUHuberman Lab about Growth Mindsethttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/huberman-lab/id1545953110?i=1000621365285

This week, we dial into New Orleans for a fascinating talk with master funk-guitarist and songwriter Leo Nocentelli. Discerning listeners may known him as the chief groove-creator behind the legendary group The Meters with Art Neville on keyboard, George Porter Jr. on bass, Zigaboo Modeliste on drums. There is no mistaking his soulful dagger-sharp signature sound leading often-sampled treasures like “Sissy Strut” and “Hey Pocky A-Way” (The Beastie Boys were big fans) - or even his slinky masterful backing of Dr. John's classic Right Place, Wrong Time. But a new generation are learning of Nocentelli from last year's surprise release of his first and only solo record, the acoustic folk-driven Another Side, which was resurrected and marketed by Light In The Attic Records nearly fifty years after Leo first recorded it.  You don't usually put your first record out when you're zooming past your 75th birthday. The story of how Another Side still even exists is quite a yarn (one that Leo goes into great good-humored detail about in the taping) from the master tapes being lost in damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, to a master-copy being found almost impossibly after a storage-unit got foreclosed and the music was traded at a local swap-meet. Hearing him tell it, finding these songs from his younger days, was like finding an essential, lost piece of his soul. The record isn't polished, but the sense of youthful exploration shines through. He's searching for his voice in real time. You wouldn't think a rock-funk maven like Nocentelli would be inspired by songwriters like James Taylor or Elton John - but in many ways, it was the softer, more yearning, poetic side of rock-n-roll in the early 1970s that intrigued him most when he began writing songs like “Thinking Of The Day” in 1972, wondering if his place in the world, his “tomorrow would ever come.” Other standouts like “Riverfront” told the stories he couldn't tell while penning the Meters' funky (but often instrumental) dance anthems. With his Meters mates chugging beside him in the studio, he can tell darker, more personal tales about his hard-working friends, like Aaron Neville (who he grew up with in the 7th Ward) and used to haul bananas off the boats in New Orleans to get by.  Nocentelli has had his shares of ups and downs as a lifer who has rode the tempests of the ever-evolving music industry. It's a “brutal brutal business” he says at one point - and Leo shares that he had to sell some of his favorite guitars to keep going through the years. The song “Getting Nowhere” leans into the sense of helplessness and frustration many talented session players and touring side-men like him went through when royalties and fame and fortune passed them by as others rose to prominence. Some things really haven't changed in fifty years. But only a generational talent like Nocentelli could create sparkling guitar backdrops for artists as diverse as Dr. John, Otis Redding and even Jimmy Buffett, and keep his passion long enough to see new crowds packing houses on tours in 2022. It must be quite the feeling to finally be able to perform his own solo work - a half century after the songs first emerged and were almost lost forever.  Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-show-on-the-road-with-z-lupetin1106/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Drummers like Clyde Stubblefield, Zigaboo Modeliste, and Bernard Purdie defined the sound of the bands they played with not because of their flashy chops, but because they knew how to lock down a groove. On this episode, Kirk goes deep into one groove apiece by each of those drummers - Stubblefield on James Brown's "Cold Sweat," Modeliste on The Meters' "Cissy Strut," and Purdie on Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady" - with help from special guest drummer Russ Kleiner.FEATURED/DISCUSSEDCold Sweat by James Brown and the Famous Flames, 1967"Cissy Strut" by The Meters from The Meters, 1969"Rock Steady" by Aretha Franklin from Young, Gifted, and Black, 1972"Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" by James Brown, 1965"So What" by Miles Davis from Kind of Blue, 1959The Treme Brass Band at the Red Beans and Rice parade, 2013“Shoo Fly Marches On,” by Dr. John, 1973Babylon Sisters by Steely Dan from Gaucho, 1980SPECIAL GUEST: Russ KleinerRuss is one of Kirk's oldest friends, a drummer and percussionist who currently lives, teaches, and performs in Connecticut.

In this episode of Plus One, Kraz welcomes one of the most proficient guitarists of all time, Leo Nocentelli of The Meters, onto the show. Leo and Kraz discuss everything from Leo's thoughts on super-star artists sampling Meters songs, to his unconventional methods of gaining the confidence to play in front of crowds at an early age. The two also talk about Leo's signature sound that he gets out of the Gibson ES-175, and he sheds light on the incredible rhythmic connection between drummer Zigaboo Modeliste and bassist George Porter Jr. You'll also hear Leo talk about why The Meters split up in the late 70's, the messiness of the business side of music, and why Leo enjoys being an essential contributor to the band from the background, and never the spotlight. This is a must-hear conversation between two masters of the guitar, and one of the most monumental musicians that funk has ever heard.Leo Nocentelli is a founding member and the lead guitarist for The Meters, a band that is often credited alongside all-time greats like James Brown as being one of the sole originators of funk music. He's written classic songs including “Hey Pocky A-Way,” and "Cissy Strut," which he and Kraz discuss in-depth in the conversation. On top of his work with The Meters, he boasts an incredible musical resume as a session player, having recorded with legends such as Etta James, Temptations, Dr. John, and Robert Palmer. He's a recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as a member of The Meters, but his playing and the band's incredible discography speak for themselves, needing no official recognition. In this episode he details how he developed his one of a kind style that fuses funk, rock n' roll, and jazz like no guitarist has ever done before.This podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

New Orleans funk legend, bass player, bandleader and founding member of The Meters, George Porter Jr. joins me on the show this month. George has such a rich history that goes deep into the history of funk and rock music. From their humble beginnings as a cover band on Bourbon Street in the early 60’s, to being top call session players for Allen Toussaint and playing on albums for Dr. John, Paul McCartney, and The Neville Brothers, not to mention their own epic catalog, The Meters developed a style and sound that is solid, funky, and unique. George’s history with amazing drummers is also well known, so we got to talk about his partnership with Zigaboo Modeliste, lots of his classic albums and sessions, a bit of the history of New Orleans music, and what he has been up to during COVID, particularly his new album “Crying for Hope” with his band Runnin’ Pardners. Join us!

A chat with Karen, Gordie, and Nick of the Lucid Furs as well as Kate, a fan of the band. We talk about surviving the pandemic while recording new music. Our chat turned to the challenges of retrofitting older music, touring stories and favorite destinations. Frequent topics such as musical influences and first albums were fun and insightful. There are plenty of gems in this episode, so dig in.Surviving the Pandemic with The Lucid FursJust before the pandemic struck, The Lucid Furs were working on another tour. They had planned to get back to Texas as well as do a bit of international touring by visiting Canada. I asked what the band has been doing to ride out the storm.Karen mentioned that in addition to having to cancel their tour, they had to put recording of their new album on hold. Once things were safe enough to enter the studio last summer, they were able to finish up recording. Now they are just waiting on mixing and mastering to be completed. The Lucid Furs are thinking that they will hold on to the new album until they can get out on the road to promote it.In the meantime, the Lucid Furs have been doing some DIY recording in their vintage kitchen. This project includes working out rearranging older tunes for acoustic and writing new music. They have a few surprises in store, including a cover or two.The Lucid Furs music leans on the heavier end of the rock spectrum. I was curious how well their older tunes translated to acoustic. Gordie and Karen both mentioned that for some songs, they just did not work out. However other tunes actually started life as acoustic riffs and it was easier to retrofit those back to their origin. Touring with The Lucid FursIt takes a certain level of dedication and drive to go from making music for yourself to wanting to join a band and tour the country. I was curious when and what inspired each member of The Lucid Furs to perform and tour. Gordie mentioned that he knew as soon as he started playing guitar at 17 that he wanted to be in a band. Touring always seemed like a dream until he joined The Lucid Furs. Karen laughed and said that they threw Gordie into touring just a few months after he joined.Nick mentions with a laugh that part of the drive to tour is to avoid anything not music related. Gordie jumped in adding “Work sucks, I’m going to go play guitar”. As for desire to play music, Nick comes from a family that is heavily into music. It has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember. Nick adds that touring with The Lucid Furs is a riot.Karen never thought she would actually be in a band. Prior to the first band she was in called Karmic Lava, she had never performed in front of people. It took a while to develop the confidence in her voice. She laughs adding that she shook like a leaf the first time she played a show.Eventually she fell in love with performing. This led to wanting to become more involved in all aspects of the band. Ultimately with her partner and drummer Dan, they created The Lucid Furs. Over the years, the band has morphed into its present shape and is firing on all cylinders.Highlights from the RoadSince we were talking about touring, I asked what were some of the places that The Lucid Furs enjoyed visiting the most so far in their journeys. Everyone agreed that New Mexico was awesome with the beautiful landscape. One thing they remember most is that there are chili peppers everywhere. As ornaments, as ornamental lighting shaped like peppers, and of course making for some great food.Karen also loves Texas. Everywhere they have played, the people have been fantastic with great crowds. Another fun run is New York City. Nick mentioned that one of the best aspects of being on tour is great food. He isn’t sure every band has this experience, but the Lucid Furs have happened upon some tasty grub. Drop into our chat to hear about Nick and Gordie’s taco adventure. Karen missed out on the tacos, but scored some killer chow mein.Future DestinationsI asked Karen, Nick, and Gordie where they would love to travel to once they are open to tour again. Gordie is all about going to the North Pole. We laughed and then riffed on The Thing and Snake Plissken. Nick is really down for anywhere as he loves being on the road. Wherever the road leads, Nick is happy to be in the van.Karen wants to hit California. The band has done most of the U.S, but never made it to California. Gordie cautioned that they have to avoid fire season. Evidently while on tour in Montana, Washington, and Oregon the skies were full of smoke. Gordie definitely doesn’t want to deal with that again.Musical InspirationsA common question on Fans With Bands is to find out what were the musical influences for each band member. Nick feels his family are big influences given family gatherings typically involve playing music. In terms of bands, Nick is a fan of 90’s grunge area bands such as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Tool, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Gordie’s dad was a big influence as he plays guitar. Early musical influences included Hendrix and Metallica. Once he started playing, he really got into jazz riffs and licks of Grant Green. As a kid, Karen listened to a lot of R&B and folk with Jewel being an early influence. As she got older, she became a punk rock fan and especially loves the surf rock punk of The Amino Acids. Vocally, Karen found her love in the vocals of Ann Wilson of Heart.Meeting Musical IdolsI wanted to know if anyone in The Lucid Furs had stories of meeting famous musicians. Nick met Paul Stanley of Kiss. He was shocked at how tall Paul is. He got his autograph and Paul asked him “Have you seen the new KISS DVD?” Nick said that he hadn’t. Paul replied “It Rocks” leaving Nick with an awesome story to share.Karen thinks it is best not to meet your idols. She had a chance to meet Mark Farner of Grand Funk Railroad and turned it down. She was afraid that Mark wouldn’t approve of the band name “The Lucid Furs” given it sounds like Lucifer.Gordie met Travis Meeks of Days Of The New. Travis was very cool giving Gordie an autograph and writing out the setlist for him. While on tour, Gordie and Dan met the drummer of The Meters, Zigaboo Modeliste in a music store. They got a picture of him and he said “Don’t stop playing, don’t let me down now” after finding out they were on tour from Detroit.Origin of the Band Name and Lyrical InterpretationsWhen Karen mentioned that she didn't want to potentially offend Mark Farner by telling him the band’s name, it sparked the question of how they arrived at the name “The Lucid Furs”. Karen said it comes from lyrics in the song “Rock Bottom” by UFO. She added, “at least I think that is what they say”. Google the lyrics to see what they really say.This sparked laughs and talk about misunderstanding lyrics. I’m sure everyone has stories of hearing one thing and discovering you weren’t even close. Karen said she doesn’t like playing covers after getting called out for singing the lyrics in reverse when covering a Pentagram song. But hey, maybe we are making the songs better through our lyrical interpretations.First AlbumsAnother frequent topic on Fans With Bands is first albums. Nick remembers his first album (on cassette) was Billy Idol. Karen’s first album was Dookie by Green Day. She really loved the song “Basket Case”. However, the Green Day album American Idiot was a real bummer and ended the Green Day following. Gordie’s first album was Band of Gypsies with Jimi Hendrix.Speaking of albums, I mentioned my first album being Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John. This led to conversation about Rod Stewart and Elton John with Rod covering the song “Country Comfort” from the Tumbleweed Connection album. Karen mentioned that the best landlord she ever had Mr. Danny D is also a great Rod Stewart impersonator and Hamtramck legend. I learn something every show.Pineapple WrapWhat is typically a question that evokes a bit of controversy in a band had no effect on The Lucid Furs. When asked about pineapple on pizza, everyone was fine with it. Karen did qualify that it must be paired with feta. Gordie is in the sweet and savory camp by adding jalapenos. Nick actually only likes pineapple when it is on a pizza. Go figure. Dig into the stories, laughs, and much more in this episode of Fans With Bands with The Lucid Furs.

The renowned bassist, along with fellow Meters Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli, and Zigaboo Modeliste , defined New Orleans funk and R'n'B from the late 1960s on. From the explosion of classics like "Cissy Strut" and "Hey Pocky A-Way" for Allen Toussaint's label, to session work with Dr. John, LaBelle, Paul McCartney, and Robert Palmer, the Meters are the gold standard. George has gone on to work with a stellar list of artists including David Byrne, Tori Amos, and John Scofield, as well as all-star groups the 7 Walkers, Voice of the Wetlands, and his own Runnin' Pardners. He survived the 75-76 Rolling Stones. The Troubled Men should be a piece of cake.

Doing it to death, the relentless pouring of sweat and grit to hold it down and be an accompanist for the greatest self-expressionist of our time. My guest kept the beat and played the rhythms that helped James Brown reach international stardom. He would play the same groove for 15 minutes while Jimmy Brown carried on and drove those rhythms Stone Soul Lyrics captured from all the urban venues that existed at one time in this country. My guest still is secure enough to play out and pass the peas or dish on The Revolution of the Mind. He made love music with Fred Thomas, Fred Wesley, double drums with Clyde Stubblefield who along with my guest is the most sampled drummer in modern electronic beats. It's not music because there's no real people playing the music. A real person like my guest would have to keep the beat while James would riff for 18 minutes asking The aforementioned Wesley to take a jazz solo in the same vein as JJ Johnson. My guest feels the groove. He along with Bernard Purdie, Idris Muhammad and and Zigaboo Modeliste helped fuse Gulf Coast Blues with Jazz and Gospel bringing in Funk. The kind of funk that Lyn Collins or Bobby Byrd felt. It continues today with a beat as strong as ever playing in different amalgamations of The JBs and locally @ The Red Bar in Mobile Alabama.

David Garibaldi emerged onto the scene in the early 1970’s by fueling the classic recordings of the group Tower of Power with his innovative and now iconic funk vocabulary. His formal mentors were Chuck Brown and Murray Spivak but David absorbed much from the rhythms of the Oakland, CA music scene as well as the drumming of Zigaboo Modeliste and Bernard Purdie. His style is intricate and demanding, continually pushing the envelope of rhythmic possibilities, but always deeply infused with funk, groove, and musicality. In January of 2017, David was severely injured in a train accident, placing his career in jeopardy. After a lengthy rehabilitation, he is once again touring with Tower of Power, back in driver’s seat of the legendary band he helped to create. Website         Newsletter         Become a Patron

Avi Bortnick joined Scofield's jam-oriented band in 2000 and has played rhythm guitar and electronics, along with co-producing and co-writing three records: Überjam, Up All Night, and Überjam Deux. He’s also played with Jim Weider, Zigaboo Modeliste, Bobby McFerrin, and his own Avi B Three. He’s known in musician circles for his rhythm guitar playing and ability to blend in a variety of musical configurations.   We spent quite a bit of time on this call talking about Avi’s prolific side hustles, which include App Development, and consulting in a unique niche industry. Because he has these other income sources, he never feels pressure to take a gig or work with someone he really doesn’t want to work with. Plus, it allows him to live in NYC and be centrally located to the places he enjoys being near. Avi also had some great advice for other guitarists.

My guest today is Mr. George Porter Jr. George is best known for being the bassist for the “architects of funk” - The Meters, the funkiest band to ever come out of New Orleans and, for that matter, anywhere. His basslines get under your skin and won't let go. Along with Zigaboo Modeliste on drums, Art Neville on keys and Leo Nocentelli on guitar, The Meters invented a type of funk that has been widely copied (and sampled) for many years now.  The day this interview took place I was back in New Orleans recording on a couple of projects, and we just happened to be on one session together. I've known George for years and I mentioned how I started this podcast and wanted to interview him while I was in town for a few days. Knowing I was short on time, George graciously suggested that we do it that night after the session.  In the interview I ask George about his influences, what he looks for in a drummer, trivial questions on various Meters folklore, why Paul McCartney said George was his favorite bass player, Allen Toussaint sessions, the proper way to play “Cissy Strut”, unison guitar/bass lines,etc…OH…and we play a lot of stuff together. Hope you enjoy.  Recorded at the Parlor Studio, New Orleans, LA - Feb 2016. On a session- L to R- Shane Theriot (guitar), George Porter Jr. (bass), Johnny Vidacovich (drums) and Sonny Landreth (slide guitar) Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-riff-raff-with-shane-theriot/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The renowned bassist, along with fellow Meters Art Neville, Leo Nocentelli, and Zigaboo Modeliste defined New Orleans funk and R'n'B from the late 1960s on. From the explosion of classics like "Cissy Strut" and "Hey Pocky A-Way" for Allen Toussaint's label, to session work with Dr. John, LaBelle, Paul McCartney, and Robert Palmer, the Meters are the gold standard.
