This is being prepared in advance of my excursion to Washington, so any reporting on that trip will have to wait until later in the week.
Hopefully it was a gas and I found lots of groovy records.
That said, it’s been a while since the last organ mix (a live mix, back in January), and I can’t go very long without a Hammond infusion, so I figured it was time.
This mix is all over the map, with some hard driving R&B, soul, funk and even a little bit of soul jazz, but since we’re talking about the universe of the Hammond organ, that’s kind of how these things swing.
A couple of these tracks have seen the light of day here on Funky16Corners individually (none recently), but since two slices of bacon is always better than one, and organ records are the soulful and delicious equivalent of bacon in the musical food pyramid, it couldn’t possibly hurt to hear them again.
Anyhoo… this week might be a little light, since I’m one hundred and eleventy seven percent that I will be returning from DC exhausted, and then I have a little surgical type thingy on Tuesday which is sure to knock me on my ass for a few days, but it’s one of those ‘gotta do it when you gotta do it’ deals, so there.
I hope you dig the mix, and I’m sure I’ll make it back onto the scene by the end of the week (if not sooner).
Peace
Larry

Thamks David!
Best of luck on your surgery Larry. Finally that Chachere 45 made it into a Radio Episode. Awesome!
I bet I’m not the only person whose inner Beavis came out involuntarily upon seeing the title of this mix. And thanks for feeding the Hammond addiction.
Another killer Hammond mix!! Thanks Larry and good luck with the surgery stuff man.
hey there Larry! just wanted to say thanks for all the mixes and tracks you put up here – I never get around to saying it — but I really appreciate what you got going on here. keep on keeping on! all the best. – MK
Yo Larry,
Been folowing your DC antics with much interest and looking forward to sharing (vicariously) in the vinyl goodies that it has reaped!
Have just finished completing downloads of the archived Radio zips… Soooooooo good.
Wanna echo the sentiments of my fellow F16C addicts and say a big massive thank you! You have expanded my musical boundaries exponentially – and I already thought I had just about the most cathoilic tastes possible.
Looking forward to what looks like another top notch organ selection.
Cheers Larry, you are very much THE MAN!
Hope you are feeling sweet and dandy again real soon.

Thanks for the kind words!
I have a DC score ready to go for Friday.
I’m glad you’re digging the radio shows.
Larry
