You'd think he'd be cool with two hours a week dad's not bugging him. I know I would be!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:40pm

Now that summer's here and the boys can stay up later, maybe we should
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 10:41pm

You know if I was deejaying a show from my domicile, it would be piped throughout my abode, actually it already is 50% of the time. (it is a wee late, I suppose).

Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:26pm

You got some good stuff. That Lavern Baker was a very respectable catch on the cheap
  11:26pm
Mr. Boogaloo:

FYI: Wayne Bennett played with Bobby Blue Bland from around 1958 to at least 1965. Heavy cat. Had not heard this solo outing before. Thanks for playing it.

You're welcome! Thanks for the info!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:27pm

I just got lucky. Guy who had that collection was really into novelty records. They just found more and put them out. I'll have to go through those, too. And I'm not even a 45 guy.
