...the performances...the productions...the atmospheres captured...the gittar tones...I wanna say something about these rekkids - but I'm all like - gagagagagagaga...
Hello all. It seems like I missed 19 minutes that is critical to the formation of the universe as it exists now. Nolan Strong on the playlists say as much. I am so happy I am fully plugged in now.
I've got Cheese Cake on one of my CD comps. Not exactly Soul music, more like a tittie shaker!

The needle had been grinding at the center groove of my Gino Washington LP all night, but it didn't wake me up till about 2. My covers were sticky from a beautiful Wild Turkey sour served by a shapely, less-than-wholesome blonde. She was gone, I think. I felt about how I felt when I walked home from that party with three broken ribs and a punctured lung, and as I stuffed the record back into its sleeve, I decided to call Billy Miller and Miriam Linna from Norton Records because they knew everyone who was anyone in rock & roll sleaze.
"Hey, Billy, I'm doing a thing on Jerry Lee, and I wanted to get a story from you," I said, after Miriam had passed the phone over.
"I got nothin'," he said.
"You gotta be kidding me."
"Well, I once met him in 1980. He was nice, so I was respectful." ...

thanks for playing that great tribute set to Billy
Terrible news...it was just announced that Sharon Jones passed away today after her battle with cancer. What a shitty month this is turning out to be.

..."I was hoping for something more on par with Hasil Adkins staying at your place and eating the can of Campbell's soup that was autographed by Andy Warhol," I said.
"Or Esquerita screaming into your answering machine, 'WHA'S LIL RITCHUD DOIN' ON YER ARCACON?'"
Billy Miller was pretty much the coolest, funniest, kindest, warmest person I've ever known. Then there's the musical taste, knowledge and above all SHARING.
