Featured in WYGYFF Episode 22: Three of the six members comprising the current lineup of the mighty, irreverent and sometimes outrageous rock and soul band, Fishbone. They are bassist James “Jimi Bills” Jones, guitarist Tracey “Spacey T” Singleton, and trumpeter and vocalist John “JS” Williams. Since the early 1980s Fishbone – which hails from my hometown of Los Angeles – has been thrilling and challenging audiences with its unique musical blend of rock, ska, reggae, soul and funk punctuated by strong vocals and socially conscious lyrics.

The fantastic news is the band is back with its first new studio album in more than 20 years – the excellent Stockholm Syndrome – and out on tour doing shows.

Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where’d You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives.

WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where’d you get your funk from?

This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations.
