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.

Hi Kris. Nice cut to start to the show.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:06pm
Kris Holmes:

Hi Matt. Thanks! Did you partake in any of the early Mardi Gras parades yet?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:09pm
Matt from New Orleans:

They’re not exactly parades on Twelfth Night. It’s a bunch of people who rent a streetcar and go for a ride. Originally it was only one. But then a new krewe formed when they built a new streetcar line downtown and now a second one rolls on the St Charles line after the original krewe.

Matt from New Orleans:

I don’t like clumpy or dumpy rice.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:10pm
Kris Holmes:

Ahhh. I saw Al Johnson was out there from photos.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:12pm
Kris Holmes:

Confusingly, Mr "Piano" Rice has another 45 which is a great guitar instrumental
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:15pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The parades don’t really kick in till next month. Slowly at first and then it’s a deluge.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:16pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I liked the tune. Just felt like making my lame joke.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:23pm
Little Danny:

Hola all

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm
Franco Twinkie:

Hi Kris. Flopped in a chair but listening.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:25pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Was wondering if you were going to show up? I had started to zone out over here getting the blues.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:26pm
Little Danny:

Back DOWN from the north sir. I'm not here for your Antipodean orientation
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:27pm
Kris Holmes:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:28pm
Little Danny:

Dammit I hate when you're right
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:29pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Please don’t try to say that word during the next mic break
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:29pm
Kris Holmes:

which word?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:30pm
Kris Holmes:

Hi Franco
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:30pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Antipodean
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm
Little Danny:

Roadrunners are super cute
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Matt from New Orleans:

BEEP BEEP! Maybe it was an ACME Brand fan in the background.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:35pm
Little Danny:

Kris, do you have any of those Bo Diddley EPs on Chess? They're hella elusive. I have none.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:37pm
Kris Holmes:

nope, i do not, but they are something i would like to have
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:37pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Like the Bo Diddley Bo Diddley EP from 58?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:41pm
Granny Spicy Tuna (they/them):

great set!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:42pm
Little Danny:

Note sure of dates, but '58 wouldn't surprise me. Any such as these:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:44pm
Little Danny:

Shirley has such a plum voice
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:45pm
Kris Holmes:

just perfect for jump r&b
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:46pm
Little Danny:

Yeah, it coulda cut through crowd noise pretty handily
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:48pm
Little Danny:

Same here. They show up on eBay but never in real life
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:51pm
Little Danny:

Hi Records had great jukebox distro in the '60s and '70s it seems. I've seen a number of those Hi EPs with the juke strips. I'm sure no organized crime was involved.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:52pm
Kris Holmes:

Ha, writing them off, but yeah, lost of Bill Black & Willie Mitchell 33RPM EPs got released for real
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:56pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Did he record this in London?
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 10:57pm
Kris Holmes:

it doesn't say
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:59pm
Little Danny:

Sounds like the Memphis-based Stax/Volt house regulars for what it's worth. Except that flute.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:59pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Just an odd song title
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:01pm
Little Danny:

London was a pretty and easy reference to drop in the mid- and late '60s
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:05pm
Matt from New Orleans:

True enough
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:13pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Putting the phone down but will continue listening. Have a great night everyone.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:14pm
Kris Holmes:

good night matt
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm
Little Danny:

Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:31pm
Kris Holmes:

Tough version
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:40pm
Little Danny:

He is definitely gonna put those records back
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:41pm
Kris Holmes:

One day.......
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:44pm
Little Danny:

Man I'm so close to guessing the guitar player on this King Curtis without looking it up. Mickey Baker? Some R&B session heavy, I'm sure
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:46pm
Little Danny:

Cornell Dupree! I'll be jiggered.
Avatar 🥁 ♥ 11:48pm
