Favoriting The Long Way Home with Kris Holmes: Playlist from December 24, 2019 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.

Merry Christmas, Kris! I saw Howlin' Wolf open for Alice Cooper when I was a teenager. When the Wolf introduced Spoonful he said in that voice "I know a lot of you know a lot about that, heh,heh!" What did he mean? Was he suggesting that...never mind.

Right now I am searching for all the records my mom has given me for Christmas, since she is coming over for dinner tomorrow. Well, I have been stacking albums on two ironing and one of them collapsed!

Ahhh, nice, "River's Invitation" sounded great as a jazz arrangement. I'd only known Percy Mayfield's version

Not a song I woulda expected Ted Taylor to do

@chresti, trying to remember. Prolly ‘85 or so? Jack Bruce eventually came out and played a few songs. Which explains King’s several comments about playing with “da Creams”.

We've got a full complement of live programs tomorrow on the Little Drummer Boy Stream tomorrow. Mary Wing kicks things off at Noon (ET) with 100% Whatever. David (and Ruth) continue the magic at 3pm with Ridgewood Radio. (Listen for wonderful performances by Sarah Peebles, David Behrman, The Cathedral Band with William Duckworth and “Blue” Gene Tyranny, and Chuck Bettis with Brown Wing Overdrive.) Kenzo takes the baton and runs for paydirt with Ken's Last Ever Radio Extravaganza at 5pm. Gary Sullivan's Bodega Pop Live is next at 7pm. And finally, Funkmaster Larry Grogan wraps it all up with a bow at 10pm with Testify!

It should be a killer diller Christmas on your 24-hour Drummer Stream. Happy happy happy, everyone!
