Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from January 30, 2024 Favoriting

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.

Mary was a distant cousin of my neighbor growing up Jessie. I asked him once but he didn’t know but years later did a genealogy thing and found her and told me.

Mary played herself. Darlene Love was in it too playing herself.

One of my big regrets is missing seeing The Shangri-Las in Amarillo TX winter of 64-65. Somehow didn't hear about it until the day after the show and some kids were raving about it at school.

In any recent hearings of this, the only words I join them for out loud are
"Yes, we see."
and
"Look out look out look out look out!"

Saw Mary again when she got back into music in the late 00s I think

the album for Norton was 07?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:22pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Must correct myself. Mary wasn’t in the play herself.Someone played her. Ellie Greenwich did play herself as older Ellie and Darlene was in it as herself.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:25pm

Annie Golden was in it too. She was in The Shirts and much later on Orange Is The New Black.

It was a fantastic show. My idiot friends couldn’t be bothered to come with me and I’m sure spent the afternoon/early evening getting stoned in Amsterdam and doing nothing. I met back up with them in Amsterdam after the concert and the night gets blurry after my return to Amsterdam.
