Keep Calm and Groove - funky tune inspired by Mark Lettieri

I never know where the idea for a tune will come from. In this case it was from a former school friend who is now an art teacher. She painted a painting saying "keep calm and be groovy". I realized that these words very much described how funk music is when it's at its best. So I just adapted the words for the song title and wrote this. So thanks to Jill St. George for the inspiration.

Guitars used were a James Tyler Classic and a James Tyler Studio Elite.

Bass was a Sire MM V7.

Hope you'll enjoy it!

Cheers,

Calm and groovy brother Mats!

I too never know when music will come but it often comes when I'm on the toilet -- which pretty much explains my mixes.

Thanks, BT!

I often get ideas when I'm out for a walk or in the shower.

Cheers,

Great dialog between the guitars & the key horns, very 80's , well done !

I still dig that lead tone of yours a lot ,& a great phrasing

Thanks, Renaud!

The 80s horn thing was very intentional, so I'm happy someone noticed.

Very cool track. Horn stabs remind me of Toto as well

Thanks you, Joptunes!

I admit to having listened very much to Toto since the first album.
