Thank you VERY much. Yes, all my stuff is copyrighted. That would be a very nice gesture.

Very cool show, Mr. SP. TOTALLY was digging my man Shuggie's Freedom Flight. Foster's Misdemeanor was killin' too. That's such a coldblooded groove. I've always loved that song. Very cool you playing The Watts 103rd Street Rythmn Band. Ray Jackson, who worked a lot with my father and who's on my dad's o.g. version of "Standing At The Crossroeads" along with James Gadson, is on this as well. Ray and James both played in this band before they started working with my father and then with Bill Withers. There were some jams on here that I had never heard before that were sho nuff bangin' as well.

To be fair, I didn't play last night's show. It was my co-host Mr. Felty all by himself.

I'm a bit late but that doesnt matter when talking about BlackguitaristZ! Reading his posts about Prince in the P:M&M section you think yourself, "Man, can this guy get any cooler?" and then you get hit with this and find out he can rip just as good as P! He's more than just a guitar-slinger tho, dude is a phenomenally talented artist and should be gracing the covers of magazines and getting endorsements like the likes of people such as Larry Mitchell, Joe Bonomassa and more! If I could take guitar lessons from someone, or chill with an orger for a day, it'd be him

Listening to it right now on the Podbean.

I know but I thought perhaps you put together or helped put together the playlist.

MajesticOne89 said:

Man,.....thank you. Those are very cool sentiments.

Loved the instrumental from Shuggie.

Good show and very cool tribute to your dad BGZ.
I look forward to hearing your material. For sure.

blackguitaristz said:

And thank you again for sharing yo.

Bfunkthe1 said:

Thank you sir.

MrSoulpower said:

I know I'm a bit late, but I just checked out Chris's version of "Standing At The Crossroads" today. The feel is very different from the original. I loved the vocals, very open and vulnerable. I liked the guitar solo and totally dug the spoken part. All in all, a very good cover, and an excellent tribute.
I'm sure your father would be proud

That must have sucked to have had to have gotten a new screen name after having been around here for forever.

PDogz said:

I actually didn't have to change my screen name. I just wanted to
I created my account years ago, when I was still a kid. Yes, I am still quite young, I'm not denying that, but I have grown as a person during the past couple of years. I felt like this new screen name better reflects my personality nowadays . As for my previous screen name, I have to say, I didn't really like the random capitalization of the letters (FuNkeNsteiN). I got into some arguments on here, and I used to post pointless stuff on threads about artists I don't even like. I occasionally wandered over to Prince: Music & More to taunt the, well, more narrowminded Prince followers.
As I no longer feel the need to do any of that, I felt like I wanted to get a fresh start. So now, I just try to concentrate on posting about what really matters, the music.

Excellent work, BG!

Growing up is a beautiful thing. Thanks for sharing your experience.

On this week's Midnight Soulstice, we invite you to the third volume of our series The World's Best Funk DJs. This time, we take you across the Pacific Ocean to Japan. If you go to Nippon looking for Funk, you will eventually run into Daisuke Kuroda, known as the country's top Funk DJ.

Daisuke started his carrier as DJ in 1997, but he has been a dedicated collector of rare Soul and Funk vinyl for much longer. In 2000, he started Nippon's leading Deep Funk club event series Searching in Tokyo along with Lincoln (Legendary Deep Funk) and Yusuke Ogawa (Universounds).

Daisuke is well known among collectors and DJs worldwide, who rate him among the best, but few outside of this circle have heard his name, for one simple reason - he doesn't fly. Because of his fear of airplanes, Daisuke missed out on many invitations to DJ on all continents. Instead, he distributes his own mix CD series Kickin', of which he has recently released the 4th volume.
Midnight Soulstice co-host DJ Pari has played with Daisuke various times in Japan, and we're happy that Daisuke followed our invitation to put together a mix for our show.

Enjoy his selection of slammin' vintage Funk and Soul - Nippon style! This is a very, serious mix that will blow your mind!!

Tune in this Friday from 11 pm until 1 am Eastern at www.wrir.org

Agreed. Of all the orgers that have something to say, he is like a walking Rock N Roll encyclopedia. I always have admired BG. Even if you have a difference of opinion, he lays out the facts.

He has his musical heroes, but a sound and style distinctly his own. If he decided to tour the club scene, count me in

BTW: He shreds that axe with the best of them

Download for last night's show ... it was absolutely unbelievable. If you like Deep Funk and Rare Soul, this will be a sure keeper. World class, from the world's best Funk DJ!
