Funk's most recognizable bassist Bootsy Collins unveils plans for the world's first Funk University where he will serve as Professor Los Angeles, CA -- It began with a simple message on Bootsy Collins' twitter page to his more than 400,000 followers, which simply read "If You Build It, They Will Funk." Fans had no idea he was referring to the upcoming debut of Bootsy's Funk University, an online bass school for players around the planet to study under his direction.

Bootsy’s Funk University begins its first semester on July 1, 2010 with enrollment based on a first come, first serve basis. Currently, interested players are encouraged to sign-up for exclusive information at www.thefunkuniversity.com. Registration for enrollment is set to begin in April for the summer launch.

Do I say more?

Michael thanks.

On November 15th 2005, BFG Records will be releasing a new album by Jermaine Stewart - best remembered for hits "Say It Again", "Get Lucky" and the perennial DJ favourite "We Don't Have To (Take Our Clothes Off)"

The album is called "Attention - A Tribute To {safm}Jermaine Stewart{/safm}", and features 12 tracks, 9 of which have never before been released. The selections were recorded over Jermaine's career, closely up to his untimely passing in 1997. The project has been supervised by Jermaine's brother Gene, and proceeds from the album will go towards a headstone with photograph where Jermaine rests, as well as scholarships helping those in need.

The album is initially to be available mail order priced $15.98 (postage and packing extra outside the USA). Further details on ordering can be found by e-mailing Gene Stewart at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or visiting This
