Happy Birthday and thanks for the great stuff (discoveries for me) that you post here!

Happy Birthday youngster! I thought someone with these kinds of records would have been a lot older. Keep the great tunes coming. I play your stuff almost every week on my vintage R&B radio show on a non-commercial freeform station.

Hey Mr. Second Line: I'm psyched that you are interested in my show.

It's called "The Jukebox Boogaloo" and it's on KRUU-FM in Fairfield Iowa. It runs every Saturday Night 10pm-12am (Central). We have a stream at our website:

I have put some of my archives (though nothing very recent) here:

My show is mostly old school Soul, Funk, R&B, Reggae, Rockabilly, Garage, Novelty records, etc. I run my mic through a delay pedal to get slapback. I'm kind of going for a weirdo 60's AM commercial radio vibe.

Oh! But that Smokey Johnson track is a treat. Heard lots of brass bands doing renditions, cool to hear such a neat old version. Those drums... wow.

Happy belated birthday to one of the earth's finer mens!

Thanks for that Smokey Johnson, I'd never heard the original.
