Beautiful tribute to an American original. I first saw Sly before he became a big star. He was at the initial stages of offering his musical awakening to the world. It was a club in East Lansing, Michigan called The Brewery. When Sly entered and strolled across the club to mount the stage and begin his performance, the room was electrified. The man had more charisma in his pinky than most contemporary performers can muster with teams of PR men and handlers. He is deservedly a legend. His music speaks for itself.
Michael Morrill: a gift for putting thoughts into words. A pleasure to read your eloquent tribute to Sly and putting his life and work into the context of what's happening in the here and now. We should all have such courage as to put ourselves so fully out there to speak our truth.
