Get Your Second Wind

The phrase “second wind,” according to American Heritage is defined as “a new surge of energy after a period of mental or physical exhaustion.”

Sunday, I witnessed the tight horn licks, straight up and funky rhythm section and spot-on vocals of “Second Wind” the new surge of energy in its 2008 rebirth of the ’70s Sacramento horn bands Sparrow, Slippery When Wet, and East Wind Band.
The period of mental and physical exhaustion was purely my own, AFTER the concert.

The venue: the Sacramento Buddhist Bazaar, 2008, where thousands came for teriyaki and culture and walked away saturated with funk and soul.
The music: arrangements from James Brown, Tower of Power, Average White Band, Sly, Santana, and others way too greasy and funky to list (and it’s way too bad that I didn’t bring a video camera or audio recording.)

For now, you’ll just have to live with photos.
