    Story Behind the Song
    once upon a time in r&b music we actually had to master our instruments. this is a tribute to some of those who continue to help me learn mine.

    Lyrics
    FLOW

    shh-if you listen closely,
    you just might be able to hear this song...
    and the thrill will never be gone,
    'coz BB and lucille can make you move at will
    and deep down in your soul you will feel
    this can't be fake...there's no choice but to keep it real

    and as i slowly scan the sky,
    the color of the dusk has me in a wonderful daze...
    and i can still hear the sound of jimi hendrix wailing away
    and singing purple haze
    uh oh..waitaminnit...
    now it sounds like george benson scatting masquerade
    and as the sun rises in the east,
    it's also bumpin' on sunset in the west
    montgomery, that is, you know...
    man, that brother sure had a flow

    and i definitely can't forget my man,
    who ruled the bass guitar with an iron hand
    he said his lady was one in a million,
    and he always had a master plan
    i haven't heard another brother who could smother a bass line
    like larry graham

    man, that brother sure had a Flow
    man, that brother sure had a Flow...

    the longer we listen, the longer it will last
    it's all about history, glory days past
    there was magic in the music,
    and everybody knows they had the Flow

    and the next thing i know, emotion washes over me
    like a summer breeze in 1974
    the brother with the flow at that point in memory was ernie,
    and the first time i heard him, i knew i wanted the Flow, too
    mad skills on a fender stratocaster....
    taught me to reach higher and play faster than i ever had
    and with passion
    therefore, me and my boys played as hard for five as for fifty,
    'coz it wasn't about getting paid or getting laid...
    we just wanted to play...

    my nights were spent with stacks of 45s
    playing duets with ernie, BB, carlos, albert,...
    george, johnny and ray
    all patient, all brilliant
    they're with me still today....
    teaching me scales,
    showing me how to place my fingers
    showing me how i can get the Flow

    so bow down, so bow down
    to the grandfather of that smooth guitar sound
    man those brothers sure had a Flow
    like robert johnson standing at the crossroads
    keep on listening,
    and a new appreciation you will have found
