The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from April 9, 2024

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

	♥ 10:08pm Matt from New Orleans: Glad I saw him one last time in passing last year as I was walking by the stage that the revue was on so I stopped as he was doing Ain’t Got No Home but bounced once he was done with that.

	10:18pm Kris Holmes: This darn mixer, never been the same since it took a glass of wine :(
	♥ 10:22pm Alex from Media: That obit said he developed the frog voice when teasing girls in school. It's apparently generated by breathing in while singing.

	11:03pm neveract: ↳ Song: "Mr Moto" by "The Belairs" I wonder if they named themselves after the Chevrolet BelAir
	♥ 11:05pm Alex from Media: ↳ neveract @11:03 Maybe after the posh LA neighborhood?

	11:16pm Kris Holmes: Night Alex
	11:23pm neveract: ↳ Song: "Backdoor Dan" by "Big Sandy & His Fly-Rite Boys" if I were a kid, I'd hack the PA system at church and play this!
	11:24pm neveract: ↳ neveract @11:23 .. then i'd play D. A. Coe's "Fuck Anita Bryant"
	♥ 11:25pm 7uring7est: ↳ neveract @11:23 You still could, you don't need to be a kid !
