Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Well, Brenton.Wood had to cancel day of. That was a disappointment. Midnight Star was really good. It was a little unorganized and they tried to shove too many acts in in the time period they had. They had two younger gals fill in and let them play too long and they cut War's set short. DJ in between Midnight Star and the young gals was really too long, that set. We enjoyed it, but was a little disappointing

Anyway this Jean Knight is saving me tonight.

What’s left to save at least! [sobs]

thank you DJ,
