Hey hey!

Another version of this song 🥰🥰 love it

Ah, so you're here, Sonny! The main page has Stitching Pink scheduled for now.

She had a conflict so I'm on this week!

Good morning, SBW III ✨ Another excellent rendition of Lift Every Voice and Sing.

Big love to DJ Stitching Pink, and big ups DJ SBW-III! Happy Juneteenth week everyone ♥️

@ Sonny Boy III (host) Good morning, SBW3. I'm glad of your Juneteenth celebration, which continues my education in African-American music. I will admit to never having previously heard the wonderful Manhattan Harmony Four. Oh my! Not only the tremendous quality of their voices but how they structured the chords their harmonies created. I'll definitely check them out and collection The Earliest Negro Vocal Groups from which you took their stellar version of "Life Every Voice and Sing."

Morning everyone! Glad you enjoyed it Richard :) this may be one of the earliest versions waxed -- 1923.

(if not the earliest -- added to the National Recording Registry in 2016)

@ Sonny Boy III (host) Thanks!

The absurd juxtaposition in my living room: Blues, Off the Record playing as I watch Nürburgring highlights

Racing?

Hey, SBlll, Stevie here. Beginning of a great

... show, once again. Thanks for playing us and an honor to meet you Saturday night. Take care.

Oh, is that today, TAndy? That must be why the Movies! Channel is showing “Grand Prix”.

My pleasure Paul, and likewise

@SBW3: A bit, mostly just clips of people arriving and leaving at a famous turn, and highlighting some of the neat vehicles rolling through

@David unfortunately no cable hookup in my place :(

I usually just watch clips from the YouTube channel "Auto Addiction". I also checked my subs and saw something DTO would enjoy: The channel "Boiler Room" which usually streams Techno, House, and Disco DJ sets, is streaming live performances of music I would normally hear on Sangeet!

@ Sonny Boy III (host) Ha! Howlin' Wolf's "300 Pounds of Joy" from The Definitive Collection is the definitive self advertisement. Howl on, Mr. Wolf!

Skip James mentions "the Nation and the Territory" in Hard Luck child. These are the two parts of what is now the state of Oklahoma.

That was a sequel to the Blind Blake song that informed Zap #1’s cover illustration of “Mr. Natural Visits the City” (a scene not actually featured in the comic!).

Bo Diddley and Willie Dixon wrote a song of the same name

Thanks for the show!

Thanks all1
