Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from May 29, 2018 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.

Wow, apparently they cut Bo Diddley's London Sessions in Chicago & just overdubbed a couple of London additions later to justify the title. I feel cheated!

Uncle Michael:

Stevie was crashing at his apartment, my friend having goten him his first gig in the area. Stevie was cleaning out his wallet late one night and left it on the coffee table. He was pretty much unknown. My friend didn't put it in the trash for some reason. Now it's in a lucite case in his recording studio.

another treatment for melting hair might be a personal fire extinguisher or a frozen comb
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:55pm
chresti:

Did your freind tell him he had his wallet?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:55pm
Uncle Michael:

I held it when I visited him a little over a year ago. He's been in L.A. for decades. He's utterly unknown...flys under the radar...and played me tapes of Dave Davies jamming in his studio and shit. He got a referral to play with Jerry Lee in Tahoe as a fill-in and had to decline a regular gig. He just opened a club in the Valley and plays there with friends. He's got Jorge Calderon in his regular band.
