What is the Pocket?! 2024 Update

[@Skinnyriver]

So what was your favorite band that was playing in the pocket?

[@blackpranther]

I don’t have one favorite; that would be like trying to pick my favorite kid. Some obvious contenders would be D’Angelo’s band on Voodoo, the mid 60’s band with James Brown, Earth Wind and Fire, and the band with Tye Tribbett on his “Life” record

@@blackpranther thanks! I meant the one you went to go see with your wife in concert whose opening act wasn’t in the pocket. Was just curious, thanks

@@Skinnyriver I’m not gonna get messy like that on the internet LOL If I told their name, then people would be able to figure out who the opener was. But thank you for watching and commenting!

Would you say that whether brothers are dancing or not is as good as a metric to infer the quality of the pocket? ♥ Is pocket gender sensitive? Thank you for sharing and much love to you. Take care.

I only singled out the ladies because in my 20 years of playing professionally, women usually dance first. With the exception of some really bold fellas, men often play the wallflowers until women are dancing, whether just small movements in their seat or full on with friends on the floor. Of course there are exceptions to any rule, but a guy dancing first isn't a bet I'd take in Vegas.
