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

Hows about we get things rolling this week with some of that Hammond\/dance floor heat.<\/p>\n

The mighty Wynder K Frog<\/strong> (aka Mick Weaver<\/strong>) has been featured here before, going as far back as the web zine days (thanks John Stapleton<\/strong><\/a>) all the way through a couple of Hammond mixes in the archive.<\/p>\n

Frog\/Weaver recorded a number of 45s and two LPs from the mid-to-late 60s, released in the UK on Island, and here in the US on United Artists.<\/p>\n

Weaver was a session organist who, in addition to his waxings as Wynder K Frog was in a short-lived\/transitional version of Traffic<\/strong> and contributed to albums by the likes of Keef Hartley, Steve Marriott<\/strong> and Eric Burdon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though there was a Wynder K Frog band, I\u2019ve seen references that suggest that the sessions that produced the very rare \u2018Sunshine Super Frog\u2019 LP (which included both sides of this 45) were basically Weaver adding his Hammond to existing backing tracks recorded in the US.<\/p>\n

\u2018Dancing Frog\u2019 is a hard-charging Mod\/club mover that opens with a Bo Diddley<\/strong> beat (and some extremely loud grunts) and moves on into some wailing Hammond and horns.<\/p>\n

The flipside, a cover of \u2018Green Door\u2019 (not too far removed from Eskew Reeder\u2019s<\/strong> earlier take) is a Northern Soul\/Mod fave.<\/p>\n

Both sides very groovy indeed, and one of the harder WKF 45s to turn up stateside.<\/p>\n

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

Keep the faith<\/strong><\/p>\n
