An Experimental Project (Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra), and a Loose Funky Jammer (OSMOSIS). 2 separate sides, the very same dude.
Hello. Lawrence Wise And The Cosmic Funk Orchestra/OSMOSIS is actually a One-Man Home Recording Project that has been my 'stress relief' (ha ha!), since about MAY, 1981. I'm from that first wave of DIY Cassette-Tapers ('analog'--and PROUD OF IT!). Hell, the majority of my material between '81 and '99 was done on the earliest large-model Casio Synthesizers (the MT-68, MT-400-V and MT-200), with a Yamaha thrown into the mix (on occasion). Recently, I've started posting my material on the web (after transfering it from cassette-tape to digital disc, and then to MP3---a very hard process, considering the AGE of some of the tapes). It was in these past 2 1/2 years on the web that I discovered that, despite the ridicule you're going to get, there IS an Audience for your music--no matter how different it is. I've been telling some of my friends and peers for years to NEVER get rid of ANY of their recordings, no matter how 'crappy' you were (of think you were), because having a 'Back Catalog' is a damn good thing. You MAY have been sitting on some GEMS, and not even know it. And, when I discovered that a 21-year-old jam I posted on MySpace recently ROCKED a lot of folks as far away as SCOTLAND and AFRICA (!), I felt pumped. It means that this was a 'dream' that came thru in the end.

Story behind the song
The backing is GothaDelic's (Jeff Lilland's) "SOULIFIED FUNKARELIC", basically a funkyass guitar/bass blues-type groove. As for the FIRST Lyric Idea, after hearing this groove, all I thought about was "A Sunday Afternoon Soul Food Dinner". I even had the 'menu' ready (ha ha!). But, another (semi-related), much HIGHER Idea hit me: make this the DAILY DOSE OF FUNK's first ever "Thanksgiving" song, utilizing the true spirit of the holiday. After listening to the final result, I believe this song "tastes" as good as if feels. N-Joy (and Jeff, this is LONG OVERDUE buddy; think of it as making up for not being able to do "Maggot Brain" with ya'. It all worked out. ^_^). ___________________________________________________________________ Previously issued as an EXTRA on the OSMOSIS "THE NEW RELIGION" Bandcamp Download, THIS is the REAL ALBUM this OSMOSIS and GothaDelic collab single came from.
