Greetings all.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

How\u2019s by you?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m still not reconciled to the loss of summer, and while we still have a little taste of it to savor here at the shore, it has been an especially brisk week. It\u2019s like Labor Day happened and someone threw a switch somewhere, sucking all the \u201chot\u201d out of the air.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know about you guys, but I\u2019m not done sweating yet, so how about something hot and sassy for the middle of the week?<\/p>\n

Swamp Dogg<\/strong> is one of those cats who\u2019s name I\u2019ve known forever, but who\u2019s music had evaded me almost completely.<\/p>\n

The first time I heard one of his songs it was via a cover version of \u2018Total Destruction To Your Mind\u2019 by Eric Ambel<\/strong> of the Del-Lords,<\/strong> which got some airplay on our local alternative station about 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

Dogg, who hailed from southern Virginia, recorded for years under his given name, Jerry Williams<\/strong> (and as Little Jerry Williams<\/strong>) for a wide variety of labels through the 60s, including Calla, Loma and Musicor before mutating into Swamp Dogg at the end of the decade.<\/p>\n

As Swamp Dogg he recorded for the Canyon label, and wrote songs with another Virginia Tidewater native, Gary US Bonds,<\/strong> for artists like Doris Duke<\/strong> (and Swamp Dogg himself).<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection, the wild and somewhat incomprehensible \u2018Sal-A-Faster\u2019 has a serious New Orleans vibe (with no real connection to the region other than any of the Crescent City zeitgeist that might have taken root in Swamp Dogg\u2019s fevered brain).<\/p>\n

The magical substance of the title is recommended for the self, the disobedient wife and the dog that has fits, and the rabbit \u201cthat only sits\u201d. Whether \u2018sal-a-faster\u2019 is a relation to the contents of a trick bag, or just something that Swamp Dogg pull out of, um, thin air, remains a mystery.<\/p>\n

What is not mysterious is the groove of the record, which is, without question, heavy.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll be back on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"Example\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t forget that I\u2019ll be spinning some tunes during the annual Point Pleasant Lions Seafood 5K and 1 Mile FUN Run\/Walk on Saturday, September 17th in Pt Pleasant Beach, NJ<\/strong>. The run benefits the JT Foundation for Autism Awareness<\/strong> <\/a>and runs right before the Seafood Fest (which starts at 10AM). I\u2019ll be spinning all of the funk soul and disco you\u2019d expect, so if you\u2019re in the area, come on down and run, sit and watch people run while listening to music, or get your groove on before hunting down some delicious seafood. It\u2019s a great cause and there\u2019ll be good music, good people and good food, so what else do you need to know?<\/p>\n

I hope you dig the tunes, and I\u2019ll see you all on Wednesday<\/p>\n
