This was a day to remember as we had one of my favorite singers as my guest on the show...Ms. Sharon Jones of the mighty Dap Kings. Sharon spent a half an hour with me on the phone talking about life and music. Thanks so much for the opportunity to have the one-and-only Sharon with us for the occasion. Big thanks also to Neal Sugarman, the folks from Lever & Beam, Glenn Siegel, DJ Bongohead, and Anilynn Diaz. Also...the phones were ringing off the hook for the whole show...some names I remember in the blur: Kevin, DJ 12XU, Cloaca, Cuco, and others. The other crazy thing that happened was that the main transmitter went down, about 10 minutes after we were done with Sharon and it was confusing for a minute or so as I was trying to assess the problem. Thanks to Dan the Man (Ferreira) for getting us on the back up transmitter in about one minute. It reminds me of the very first solo radio show I ever did when the transmitter went down and I totally thought it was all me! But it wasn't and I didn't get discouraged. Anyways, I'll try to get this interview transcribed and posted ASAP. Next week we'll have DJ Bongohead and Grupo Fantasma's Adrian Quesada for a special Texas edition of Clandestino.
