I'm really excited about last night's Midnight Soulstice ...it is all about the 1960s sound of James Brown. Lots of rare treats! Enjoy!

Thank you Pari.
JB, one of my favorite artist.

[Wonder B]

This is one serious selection!!!!!!!!!!!
One that if you'd care to buy all the original vinyls would set you back 100's of $!!!!!!

Thanks for this generous 'gift'!

It's Christmas time!!!!

[Pari]

I'm glad you appreciate this sound as much as I do ... I definitely focused more on the less known material, even thoigh that's hard because so much that JB has released was hit material .. lol But I think that even for a die hard fan, there is much music that you'll never heard before ... Funkiness??

[Wonder B]

Yes I wonder what takes Funkiness so much time to participate here and give his opinion as the die-hard James Brown fan that he is!!!!

Come on Funkiness! Let us know what you think...

(It would greatly surprise me if he didn't feel the same way as I do about it!)

[funkiness]

looks like there are a couple of songs I never heard of, will check it out tonight

very exciting set indeed !!!

[Pari]

And here the next burner. Initially, I wanted to do a 1970s sound of James Brown special last night (to pick up from the show from two weeks ago), but we had a pretty bad snow storm that hit Virginia last night, and I was snowed in. Mr. Felty managed to make it to the studio through the storm and played another volume of our Deep Diggin' series.

I'll be gone for three weeks to Australia with Marva Whitney - y'all have a nice Christmas!
