I met him probably around 2000 as the bass player of Maceo Parker. What I didn’t know by then is that he’s one of the important bass players of Parliament Funkadelic and other George Clinton related projects like Brides of Funkenstein, Parlet, Fred Wesley, Bernie Worrell, P-Funk Allstars etc…. thanks to Discogs and other sources.
Baltimore based Skeet joined Parliament Funkadelic in 1977. Vocalist Gary “Mudbone” Cooper, also from Baltimore and working for quite a while with P-Funk already, introduced and brought him to George Clinton. That’s where he also met Maceo Parker. Skeet had played in a local band called Uncle Remus before, together with drummer Dennis Chambers and saxophone player Greg Thomas who joined P-Funk later. All would become regular members of the band until at least mid-late 80’s.
He plays bass on many recordings (Check Discogs). A great old live recording together with Dennis Chambers is: P-Funk Allstars “Live at the Beverly Theater In Hollywood”. Nowadays, Skeet's still touring around the world with Maceo Parker…
This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel. More info:Susanne Alt: sax, Matthijs Geerts and Ike van Bergen: keys, Thomas Pol: bass, Yoràn Vroom: drums, Helene Jank: percussion Performed at 16th of January 2026 at Bimhuis, Amsterdam, Recorded by Onno Prillwitz Filmed by Robert Glass and Albert Nooij. - Skeet plays bass on Tudo Bem, Elixir and Wednesday Funk.“Bass Guitar, Keyboards, Guitar, Drums: Born in Baltimore in 1956, Skeet has played with P-Funk since 1977.
