Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from June 4, 2024 Favoriting

Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

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.

I was talking to my Kiwi friend here in NY about you as she’s a DJ but she’s younger than you and she didn’t seem to know of you but she thought she might. Her DJ name is Lady Flic but her name is Felicity.

Probably going to stop in a Soulfinger on Saturday Kris as I’m going to see Kahil El Zabar and David Murray at NuBku and Otto’s is between there and Union Square. Just went once last year but I’m sure Al & Connie will be happy to see me.

I haven’t watched as I read that book as well as Dreams to Remember and been to the museum multiple times. I’m sure there could be an anecdote I haven’t heard but I haven’t motivated yet.

↳ Song: "Star Eyes" by "Sonny Stitt"
Finished folding clothes and looking at the playlist can see that I was right about who these jazz tracks are by. Even guessed Turrentine on sax with Jimmy Smith. Didn't guess who was on the track with Stitt. Mostly recognized who the leaders were. Surprised I got that much. Maybe due to you and BPN playing bunches of this type of material recently.

Hi Will, Matt, Candy, kwatts and anyone else out there.

Well, yep. playlist is hung. Seem on the main stream PL as well. As usual when it hangs. Interestingly I get a try again later message when I try to post. Hopefully fixed by the time the show ends.

Before the PL got hung was going to write how very much I like this and a most of what I've heard by James Carr. So sad he had health problems which inhibited his career.
