There's no substitute...

Eldridge Holmes is one of my favorite artists. I hope someday to own everything he ever recorded. Actually it's more than a hope, it's a mission from God. ........................................................................................................................................................................ One of the problems with trying to start up a vaguely New Orleans-centric soul music blog is that between Larry Grogan at 'Funky Sixteen Corners', Dan Phillips at 'Home of The Groove', and Red Kelly at 'The B-Side', the bases are pretty much covered. By and large the rest of us are left to express the 'gee whiz, ain't this a cool song' aspect to record collecting and then provide a link to a post by one of the three mentioned above. This is not a complaint, I'm a HUGE fan of all three blogs, I have learned a great deal from reading them...imho, the world is genuinely a better place because these blogs exist....no shit.

My point being that there's really no point to providing info on the recordings when all anyone has to do is google the artist/record to get the straight stuff. Case in point: google Eldridge Holmes, check out the links to Home of the Groove, and Funky 16 Corners. See what I mean? These guys are so good that by default everyone else comes off as an amateur. And maybe I am. .............................................................................................................................................................

Ok, i can live with that. More than anything, this silly girl likes to dance. It would be dreamy if someone would dance along. Nuff said.
