This ain't no Switchblade, Sharon Jones

Being in a hurry really doesn't mix well with the Wilshire/Western Redline connection, especially on lack of sleep. If they did, many of us would get to work on time more often Monday morning, and I would have gotten to see Sharon Jones & Dap Kings at Amoeba without stepping on and kicking people to get out of way because I was ten minutes late.

... It never ceases to amaze me how these Amoeba shows actually start on time.

At precisely 7 p.m., the Dap Kings began to romp about on stage for a couple of lonesome bars before Jones eventually moseyed out to the roaring crowd and belted out the opening song, "How Do I Let a Good Man Down?"

During "Be Easy" Jones invited on stage with her an unidentified male fan in a sweater and tie.



The Brooklyn songstress' forty minute set also included songs "100 Days, 100 Nights," and "Nobody's Baby" and a funky soul cover of "This Land is Your Land."
