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.

My 7th birthday present was Neil's "Alice in Wonderland" and my little brother broke it that night. SO, I broke his 45 of "The hucklebuck"!!

The interviews I've seen & read with Neil Sedaka are really interesting, unfortunately most of his music, while I appreciate the musicality, doesn't do a lot for me. Great songwriter.
