Thanks to Rockmaster Rob for filling in last week while I was away. Check out his record label, Sedimental, here. And occasionally he will pop up on WMUA filling in for various DJs. Thanks a ton, Rob!
My guest this week was Phil Straub, of WRSI (The River)'s very popular show Funky Friday. Chock full of funk, soul, R&B gems, you can catch it every Friday from 6-midnight at that station. For this occasion Phil brought some other flavors of his liking, from country-jazz to surf to bebop to hiphop to crazy rock. Playlist is posted below.
