That workaround became the lead voice of funk. Necessity, turned into the loudest idea in the room. #SlyAndTheFamilyStone #Funk #MusicArchaeology #MusicHistory
@adjucioso.bsky.socialFour unmistakable songs, four instruments hiding in plain sight: Stevie Wonder’s Clavinet, The Who’s Lowrey home organ, The Beach Boys’ Electro-Theremin and Brian Jones’s sitar. Which sound surprised you most? #Adjucioso #MusicHistory
