font-family: Cambria;\">With funky intros, and speeding tempos many in attendance were divided.\u00a0 It was a tough call to sit and take it all in, or rise from the chair to join the party on the dance floor and really cut loose.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">Sipp loves to dance.\u00a0 He covered the stage and added a few dance steps here and there.\u00a0 Whether it was a little horsey trot, or a little of the Charleston, or\u00a0 Chuck Berry\u2019s duck walk, he grooved to the beats and genuinely had a great time.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">During \u201cMiss Jones\u201d, Sipp needed to cover more ground as he left the stage and walked through the entire crowd of the Caf\u00e9, during an electrifying guitar solo which lasted over 15 minutes.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Cambria;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Crowd favorites of the night were \u201cDimples\u201d (Johnny Lee Hooker), and \u201cAin\u2019t Nobody\u2019s Business\u201d which included Sipp and the bass guitarist in a synchronized dance.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Cambria;\">There were a couple of songs from his new release, a nearly instrumental piece called \u201cFree\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0 Sipp explained to the audience, \u201cWe need more love in the world, it\u2019s all about the love.\u201d<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;
