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.

Monk Boudreaux had a financial dispute over the recordings in the 90s and left the Wild Magnolias and formed The Golden Eagles. He’s still going strong as well.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:39pm
Matt from New Orleans:

This track was reissued this year and is now available at a reasonable sum by the Deptford Northern Soul Club. Jackie Wilson Because of You is the flip.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:54pm
Matt from New Orleans:

They’re a bunch of young guys who are into soul who want to the music to be available to people their age. They’re based in South London and unlike make other soul nights attract people in their 20s. They’re friends of friends.

I’m surprised she doesn’t have bins of flour all over your house Kris full of 5 lb bags.

Is that the Big Al form here?

Must have gotten Big Al confused with a different Big Al
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:03pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Big Al Carson
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:08pm
WR:

The Downbeats label on Sarg has Luling address. Looked on the map and I think the city name sticks in my brain because when I lived in San Antonio and went to a concert in Houston and was driving back late at night, when I saw sign for Luling I knew I was getting close to home. Tired and a bit drunk so pardon my blabbering tonight.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:08pm
Matt from New Orleans:

There’s a Luling here too
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:08pm

Matt from New Orleans:

Don’t own Going Back to my Roots?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:14pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m didn’t expect you too. Most of Lamont Dozier’s recording career is after your comfort zone.
Avatar 11:16pm
Kris Holmes:

Actually, I'm wondering where I misfiled Lamont as I type, I may still come across him.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:18pm

Born in Texas. Lived in Houston, Dallas & San Antonio then in NOLA from about 78 to 92. 92 moved to NYC.

What neighborhood does your sister live in Candy?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:31pm
Candy-O'67:

She's in Metairie. They've only been in that neighborhood right at about a year. I'm not sure of the name of it, but it's near the lake. They used to live in Kenner for about 10 years.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:31pm

Their house was built in the '50's or '60's, I think

How on earth did they learn this?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:41pm
Candy-O'67:

Oh, wow, WR! My sis just worked in Queens. She lived in Manhattan with her best friend from high school who also lived up there. They lived in Midtown when she first moved there and then 5 weeks after she moved there 9/11 happened! Six months later they moved to Battery Park across the street from WTC. Rents were cheap down there after that!

Candy-O'67:

Really dug that Dry Bread song, Kris!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:42pm
Matt from New Orleans:

It’s a big steel pan song Kris. Their cover is not of that version but a more traditional calypso take.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:42pm

Hey, Bri! Good to see ya on here tonight! I might be on for a few. I'm about to walk the pup and shower! I went to work out earlier and still need to get cleaned up! haha!

Kris Holmes:

Has anyone heard from Chresti & Franco lately? Are they ok?
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:44pm
Candy-O'67:

Yes, Kris! I saw Franco on BPN last night. I think Chresti has to get up really early for work is why we don't see her much anymore.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:45pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Chresti & Franco are usually around for Danny’s show
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:46pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I looked it up Kris. Mike Gordon the bassist heard a band called The Mustangs play the song and bought the record and played it for them. So their version is a cover of a cover.
