I Won't Back Down

No, I won't back down. I'll stand my ground, but I won't be back for over 3 weeks, either, so get it while you can, like the song says. It's summer in America and my mind is light with worry, I'm letting the sun shine in. Feel it in my flow, as the jingle-jangle sounds of July keep popping up like daisies in a window box.
Of course, with the heat comes the soulful sounds of an open hydrant and the checkered cloth of the backyard BBQ as well. We're all just folks, it's in the mix.

And the mix is shaken, not stirred. Check the ingredients below and you'll see the wallop that this brew can pack, when taken directly in the mid-day sun.

for love or money

Look, let's talk straight. I could be putting it out there on
the street and getting mine, the hard hustle with the soft touch. But I'm what you might call a man of the people. I'm one of you. So, I'm here for you and I want you to know I only do it for the love. The love of Irish garage beat, the love of soulful girls with echoing voices, and yes, even the love of locally made overblown Left Banke covers. Maybe even especially that. It's all here, my gift of love to you, 2 hours of it, and I'm giving it away. Just click on that Yum Yum tree below to have a taste of the sweetness within. And it's all because I love you.

If you think I'm just sugar-talking you, check the ingredients below and see that I haven't spun up just what you need so deep inside this long, hot summer.

Walk a Mile in My Shoes

Sure, it's a racket, like any other racket. But it's my racket - and like the lady said, it beats selling apples. It may only be 34 tracks, but 34 tracks is 34 tracks and it's what I've got to give. You like the Zombies, don'tcha? Everyone likes the Zombies, and they're in here waiting. All kinds of soul, too, and girl's dorm Beatle covers, west coast movers, psychedelic protest folk and at least 3 songs that sing about doing The Monkey. Click on that sno-cone of a record below and let's get started, already. Still not sold? It's all right there in black & white, if you're the type that needs to read the fine print before signing on.

Sleepless Nights

Everybody's always searching. Looking for something they
lost, trying to find something they never had ... shaking down the
next man and anyone who will trust them to find that stuff of their dreams.
I learned a long time ago, you can only give what you got, even when you wish you could offer more. So I give what I can, and you can have it if you like - all I ask is that you have a click on that Gale Garnett 45 below and give me some of your time. And in return? Two hours of hazy funk, conga-led soul, swirling organ backed by tremelo-laden guitar, thoughtful folk, rib shack R&B, and anything else you can take from me. Like I said - the stuff that dreams are made of.

And if you still aren't convinced, the good Captain left a list of all cargo including the jeweled treasures I speak of, just before he kicked off. I've placed it below for your approval. Myself, that's all I really want.

Last Stand at the Lunch Counter

33 nickels. My pockets are heavy with them. Let's stack them on the counter and make each one a song. Load up the box and clear back the tables, we've got just 2 hours before I have to go away ... yet the day is young. I don't care what you play, all the heavy soul, slashing garage, mellow pop and gritty blues that juke's got to offer. Just drop a coin in the hole in the soul below, and take my hand.

And if you really need to look, all the songs are just beneath the glass, strips of text that will clear up any reservations you might have. Now, let's dance. My time is short.
