Bernie, Bernie's in the house!!!!!!                                       

The Woo was back at the Funky Fish in Bayshore, Long Island, New York,    
this past saturday night. This P Funk show was open to the general public 
for $15 a piece. The show was filled with past, present and future P Funk/
Woo Funk classics. The Woo Warriors were on and smokin'. Below is a list  
of the players and songs of last nights entertainment.                    

Bernie: Keyboards,synthesizer,melodica....etc and Vocals                  
Greg Fitz: Keyboards and Vocals                                           
Mike Ruben: Guitar                                                        
Van Romain: Drums, Bass and Vocals                                        
Donna Mc Pherson: Bass and Guitar                                         
BJ Nelson: Vocals and Woobian Temptress                                   

The show opened with 'Re-Enter Blacklight' from the very soon to be       
released Free Agent cd. The live version was a little bit different from  
the cd. The live version featured more improvesation from the Wizard. I   
believe the Blacklight cut will be featured on the live cd recorded at the
Knitting Factory in NYC. This cd should  be released sometime after Free  
Agent. The next  song up was Sly's Thankyouforlettinme be mice elf again, 
which led nicely into Red Hot Mama. Y Spy from the Funk Of Ages cd was    
next.                                                                     

If You Don't Like The Effects Don't Produce The Cause followed and was    
highlighted by some wild jamming by the Woo Warriors. Straight Ahead  and 
Supergroovalistic, one of my favorites, sounded especially good last      
night. Next up was, Fingers, a new Woo Song. Fingers featured alot of     
interaction between BW & BJ as well as Bernie's family in the front of the
stage.                                                                    

Comin' Round the Mountain led into Baby I Owe You Something Good which led
into Can You Get To That. They played Cosmic Slop which was a surprise and
then went into The Mask where the band was able to stretch out even more. 
Van the Man was exceptional as always on The Mask.                        

Smokey, featuring Greg Fitz on vocals was next. Greg tried to sneak a     
little bit of Adolescent Funk by us in the beginning, but those of us with
a well trained P Funk ear were able to pick it up. The Woo Warriors sure  
do play the hell out of Smokey. I hope they keep it on the playlist in all
future shows.                                                             

The Woo all left the stage and after some pleading and Wooing they came   
out for an encore. They started with a little bit of One Nation and       
quickly went into Thumpasaurus which got the crowd into a frenzy. Once    
again the Woo Warriors led by their Hall of Fame leader, The Wizard Of    
Woo, tore the roof off of The Funky Fish.                                 

BW & Greg are off to the Queen City to rehearse with the Rubberband. BW   
will return for a special Bill Cosby gig and then it's off to the Far East
and Woo Rope for a tour with Bootsy. For those of you out there who have  
seen the Woo you know how great they are. For those who have not been     
lucky enough to catch them in your part of town make sure you pick up the 
soon to be released cd's.
