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.

Hey Kris. Feeling tired tonight. Might not make it through the show but I’ll try.

Hi Matt, thanks for being here & thanks for trying!

Would have been cool to be able to hear Johnnie on the air doing his radio show in Dallas in the 80s

Hi Kris ! Matt! Danny! Homies!

Hi Danny and Chresti

Kris Holmes:

Matt, yes indeed, although I don't know how much 80s blues I could have tolerated.

Hi Chresti & Coel!

I may have got close listening to Bobby Patterson on the radio in Dallas in the 2000s?

Matt from New Orleans:

Bobby Patterson is cool but he just isn’t Johnnie Taylor
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:13pm
coelacanth∅:

did Johnny Taylor really play mostly 80s' blues on his show?
Avatar 10:13pm
Kris Holmes:

I don't know if Johnnie Taylor was as hilarious on air as Bobby Patterson though....
Avatar 10:16pm
Kris Holmes:

If it was an 80s radio show I can almost guarantee he was riding those 80s blues tunes of the day, synth horns everywhere!!! lol
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:16pm
chresti:

Hi coel!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:17pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Probably not but he certainly would have been more chill and philosophical. I can just imagine him pissing off the station manager by rapping on air for 20 minutes and not playing any music or airing the commercials
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:19pm
coelacanth∅:

ugh, "synth horns"!
so much good blues to play. good 80s blues? slim selection.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:19pm
Little Danny:

Wait, you're selling at ARC, Kris?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:20pm
Matt from New Orleans:

He is. He’s been reminding us for weeks.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:21pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Even though you Danny are the only one who might actually be there of his regular listeners
Avatar 10:22pm
Kris Holmes:

Yeah, setting up Sat/Sun, shared table.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:23pm
Little Danny:

Hahaha. I will chisel your prices down until you wanna kill me.
Avatar 10:23pm
Kris Holmes:

I'll have a couple mixed boxes of LPs & a couple boxes of cheap 45s & a "better" tote of 45s.
Avatar 10:25pm
Kris Holmes:

Dan, you get the family discount already though!!!!
Avatar 10:25pm
Kris Holmes:

If there's anything you need, which I dunno.
Avatar 10:27pm
Kris Holmes:

I'm pretty sure Wilson Pickett's screams are actually distorting my cartridge!!!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Matt from New Orleans:

He certainly was letting loose in the prior song
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
Little Danny:

Thanks mate!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
doctorjazz:

Great sets!!!
Hi all!

Little Danny:

Neat little tremolo effects on "Search Your Heart"
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Hey Doc
Avatar 10:31pm
Kris Holmes:

i am a sucker for tremolo & i think we've had this discussion before. Clarence Carter 45s on Atlantic also get me that way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm
doctorjazz:

I think Picket could shatter glass with the high scream!
Avatar 10:31pm
Kris Holmes:

strangely i don't own a tremolo effect for my own guitar!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm
doctorjazz:

Hey, Matt!
Avatar 10:33pm
Kris Holmes:

absolutely one of the greatest screams of all time
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
doctorjazz:

Think I'd love going through Kris' singles box...I the other hand,it could be quite dangerous.
Avatar 10:33pm
Kris Holmes:

these are all cheapies, nothing over $5, mostly $2
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:37pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Speaking of Chips Moman I went and saw Dan Penn last week at a small club here. It was a fun show.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:37pm
chresti:

I love the background singing on for better or worse
Avatar 10:38pm
Kris Holmes:

I love Dan Penn as a songwriter, perhaps my favorite. I cover a lot of his stuff.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:45pm
Little Danny:

Gotta be Jimmy Spruill on guitar!

I remember buying at a head shop around 1973 a little plaque that reads, "Draft Beer, Not Students." I was in junior high.

such a wild solo

Matt from New Orleans:

Ray lived not far from me in the early 50s. He/his estate gave millions to Dillard and he endowed a chair that is supposed to focus on food and culture.
Avatar 10:57pm
Kris Holmes:

cool
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:59pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’ve heard so many great stories from Leah Chase about Ray. I’d only ruin them by attempting to retell them. He loved Leah’s food. He references her restaurant Dooky Chase in a song.

Little Danny:

Love this "Watermelon Man"! Those delicate guitar lines

Freddy Salas from the Sunglows/Sunliners

The band is real tight
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:12pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I should have realized that as soon as I saw RCA that it was a later version of the song and not the classic on Chess
Avatar 11:12pm
Kris Holmes:

ha, yep
Avatar 11:13pm
Kris Holmes:

wish it didn't have the strings or sax though
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:17pm
Little Danny:

Great production on this Prysock!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19pm
Matt from New Orleans:

My Great Grandfather was friends with Hy Weiss. He was at my parent’s wedding. I was completely unaware until recently as we were looking at their wedding albums and I saw him in a picture and I recognized him. It all ties in with what I was talking about on Friday Danny but still doesn’t fully solve the puzzle.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:20pm
Little Danny:

Whoa, Matt, that's wild. I'm impressed that you even recognized him!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:29pm
Matt from New Orleans:

He looked up to him. Apparently my grandfather, who was of a similar age to Hy, wasn’t as much of a fan. Morris Levy had done something shady to my two progenitors and my grandfather held Hy responsible but my great grandfather was more forgiving. This was all before either levy or Weiss were in the music business.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The details are fuzzy as my dad couldn’t remember. There’s a lot of stories from my dad’s side of the family that I wish they’d been willing to share but I probably wouldn’t have given a crap at the time my grandfather was still alive.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I imagine it happened in the late 40s but before Birdland opened.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Is this in your sale pile for the record fair?
Avatar 11:41pm
Kris Holmes:

this is one i'm filing actually
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:49pm

Clarence Carter recorded one of the few Christmas songs I can tolerate

Back Door Santa is a seasonal staple here for sure

I made it Kris. Enjoyed the show. Hopefully I’ll sleep well now.
