Mine

1- Ebony Jam - I have a chart of this- you DO NOT want to see what it looks like on paper- not for the faint of heart
2- I Got to Groove- any of the lines he plays on the various versions of this song
3- Squib Cakes, except for when chester takes over
4- Oakland stroke- this used to be my band's pre break song years ago.
5- You've got to Funkifize
6- Drop it in the Slot

These aren't in a particular order and I heavily appreciate all of Rocco's stuff (yes, ballads and disco included) so it's more of a quick listing than anything:

1. Ebony Jam
2. You Got to Funkifize
3. Drop It in the Slot
4. It's Not The Crime
5. You Strike My Main Nerve

This dude I know shows me a new TOP part he's learned for his funk group every time we cross paths.. he has no sense of dynamics/where to mute and it makes me a little bit sick.

Sorry for the delay- I will copy it and send it to you as a pdf.....
it originally was a midi file, and it may not be spot on, but it is close enough
