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.

I haven't been since they moved out to that new locale. Not really amongst my fave spots, very mainstream rock LP heavy. Not many 45s.

that record represents the most i ever spent on a song.
(i've probably told this before)
...pre-internet and i called around. finally found one for $30.; then one for 20 in good shape.
now they're much less, according to discogs

Eddie Piller would say more than that Kris. He’s a huge Dee Dee fan.

Dee Dee definitely hung out less with Bacharach & David which was helpful for the soulful quotient of her 45s

Thought Long Line Rider was gonna get into Cool Hand Luke references...while the context is related, apparently song is about a real prison farm.
There's a clip of Darin doing it on Dean Martin Show I'll have to check later -- from his "I am NOT in a suit!" period.
