Normally get this done at the beginning of the year, but hey…better late than never. This show could have easily have been 10 hours, with all the vinyl I dug up in the past year, but I try to contain things to 3 separate sets, in this case of 8 tracks, including an instrumental to talk over, otherwise I’d still be doing this show. More than a few of these I’ll be highlighting later as some of my fave 45s and LPs, but it’s always interesting doing a show like this and seeing where the spirit takes me in the mix. Enjoy the sounds, more than a few will make their way here in the new year.
