As the title indicates, this was made with The French Connection in mind and if my burner starts co-operating the mix will land in France one day...

This is all 60's stuff, the music that was going on as I was growing up. I know everyone has their own favorite era of music and this is mine.

If you ever get the chance, listen to the opener. Its funny now but a lot of people believed it and took it seriously at the time. The segue between the opener and second track is as good as it gets.

Stoned Soul Picnic

2008-11-02T03:37:00.003-05:00

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.

What better way to start the day than by drinking coffee and listening to a new release?! Steve Cropper/Felix Cavaliere have just released "Nudge It Up a Notch" Steve Cropper Booker T. & the MG's guitarist and songwriter and Felix Cavaliere former Rascals organist, songwriter, more than nudge on this release. I was worried Cavaliere's voice would be a shell of the voice I loved in the 60's but it sounded great and anything Cropper in involved with will have great musicans. Tight musicans, great vocals and solid material equal a great listen.

Here's My Story, Sad But True
About A Web-Site I Once Knew
It Took My Love And Ran Around
With Every Single Virus In Town

I am following the lead of G-Sphere and setting up a blog to post my mixes and create a musical dialog. I may chose to ramble on other things but I find I look a lot smarter when I keep my mouth shut

I would like to plug my favorite blog. Its by our very own Valis. Check this out. http://tripinsidethishouse.blogspot.com/
