BIG SAM'S FUNKY NATION tore it up today on LIVE with Regis & Kelly! I've never been to New Orleans either. I want to go asap! I buried all my family who raised me and I need some folks. I'm 40-something woman with three adult sons. Nothig holding me here, need to travel. Been here all my life matter of fact.

Music is my heart and soul too.

Just Love, Pray, Eat, Dance. Whistle while I work...God is Good!

Peace.

Also with Big Sam's Funky Nation!!
BIG SAM'S FUNKY NATION: Presiding over his Funky Nation is Big Sam, formerly the trombonist for the Dirty Dozen Brass Band, who blows the funk out of his trombone and refuses to let the audience sit still. Between solos and trombone riffs, Big Sam second-lines (a uniquely New Orleans style of street-dance) and gets the crowd going both in movement and in replies to his call-and-response MC-style. A talented group of jazz-trained musicians makes up the Funky Nation, bringing with them the improv-style associated with jazz and the horn-heavy front section that's the hallmark of big band funk!
