I was lucky enough to catch Big Sam's Funky Nation at the Knitting Factory Tap Bar on a very cold December Friday. Coming from the 22 degree weather outside at 2am, I walked into a very dead lobby of the Knitting Factory. The main stage was closed. I walked out of NYC and into New Orleans as soon as I stepped foot in the Tap Bar. This was one of the funkiest shows I've seen in a long time. Jamie
