Jimi Hendrix said: "We want our sound to go into the soul of the audience, and see if it can awaken some little thing in their minds... 'Cause there are so many sleeping people..."

WAKE UP!

JOIN COUSIN JIMI for a tribute to Bernie Worrell - resident spaceman and P-funk keyboard captain of the Mothership--

Bernie Worrell, keyboardist for Parliament/Funkadelic and Talking Heads and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, passed away Friday following a battle with cancer. He was 72.

But this next few hours is not a biography or a news report, things people can look up on their own. We think KBOO should be more a gallery or a museum to showcase the great works and to draw inspiration from those who came before us. To that end, listen to Cousin Jimi and Devin serve up the sound of the Elsewhere...

As Hendrix said. "It's all about the sound". Let Bernie Worrell's world into yours--for awhile, for as long as you keep listening...
