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.

Ha. I knew this Lively Set would get some play. Still regret dumping my G copy some years back.

The flip is a nice deep ballad. I think it's fairly unknown San Antonio soul

But yeah, I had a stroke when i looked up that Lively Set 45......not totally recovered yet

Can definitely understand that reaction

Dean:

Ah, shoot, I missed the Big Jay. (I've been listening to David Ware just now.) Have to relate a story about BJM. During the early '90s he was working for the USPS in LA. To exercise his chops he held a regular gig at Rim Ram in Santa Fe Springs, near Whittier where I lived. We'd go to his gigs at the restaurant/bar and just marvel at his and his band's work. Buddies of mine sat in on one show. Not long thereafter, he revived his career, and earned a glowing review in the NYT. Best New Year's Eve ever for me was at Rim Ram, with BJM playing, and a bunch of exchange students from Sweden--they were staying with another buddy of mine--in attendance!

Sorry, Kris. Cubs are scuffling too. Won two after getting swept by the Cardinals. At least I got to see Molina's testicle explode.

Only took 20 mins for my laptop to wake up to get to the comments board (been able to listen). Bo Diddley, now a home town hero.

damn computer quit right before Nathaniel Mayer and i got it streaming again just in time to miss it completely. fucking bullshit.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:11pm
coelacanth∅:

Dean if i remember correctly that's one of two David Ware albums that i tried for a long time to get but never found for less than a prohibitive amount of money.
  11:12pm
Dean:

"damn computer quit..." And yet we lionize Vint Cerf, Sir Tim Berners-Lee, and the rest of those dicks.
  11:12pm
Dean:

Can't remember where I acquired it, but I know it was long ago.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:13pm
northguineahills:

I never saw Bo Diddley play live, but I've seen him person twice. Once on the street, and once at the mall out of all places (college roommate at the time pointed him out, I'm usually oblivious to my surroundings).
  11:14pm
Dean:

Saw Bo Diddley when he opened for the Clash in Santa Monica, '79-ish.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:16pm
coelacanth∅:

i'll get that one day Dean. i've heard most of it and really wanted it but couldn't spend >$100. for it. i knew him personally too but wouldn't have asked him for it. stupid me obviously i should have.

'night UM

Dean he used to shop at the store i managed and his wife was a client and friend as well, and my sushi buddy, since David was a strict vegetarian.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:21pm
coelacanth∅:

makes me very sad. the terrible fact is that he never found out (unless he did after he died) how into his music i was.
...rest in peace.
