We pre-recorded it on Thursday night for Friday broadcast, which happened to run during the hours of our Rumba Psicodélica jam at the People's Pint. Speaking of which, I love all the good dancers and percussionists who came out. The joint was jumpin' and just alive with rhythm. Thanks to DJ partners Mike P, Bongohead and B-COMING.
Here's the Funky Friday rundown. Most of them were selections from their library and I added a few of my own. Phil also selected some of them. We ran "classic soul" from 6-9, with a break for the syndicated "Putumayo World Suck Hour" (did I just type that?). Then the program resumed with the 10-midnite "crazy funk" stuff, most of which was the type of music you may hear on my weekly Clandestino show at WMUA.
Thanks to Phil and WRSI.
