The Crabby Appleton and The Tokens tracks are long forgotten gems from my youth. It was very cool to rediscover them.

Mix On

Stoned Soul Picnic

Well I'm up all night doing the mix thing. I'm drinking a very nice 2007 Pinot Grigio from Fenn Valley here in Michigan (I know Cliff keeps track of this stuff). Motown was a huge influence to me and while this isn't all motown, if you chose to listen, you will hear my drift. This is music from my teens which I still adore to this day.
