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

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

I hope you\u2019re all well.<\/p>\n

The end of the week is here, and it behooves me to remind you that Friday night at 9PM (Eastern), if you\u2019re huddled up against the computer screen for warmth, you should most definitely point your browser toward the Funky16Corners Radio Show <\/strong>on Viva internet radio<\/a> (see snappy new link in the sidebar). This week\u2019s show is the first in the new format, i.e. mixed and recorded live for your delectation. There are some hot cuts in there, so fall by if you\u2019re in the e-neighborhood<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In other news, the end of May will see the return of the Funky16Corners annual pledge drive, and I have something big in the works. I can\u2019t say much right now, but if all the ducks fall into line, I think you\u2019ll dig what I have planned.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s selection is something surprising (for me, anyway) that I picked up as part of a big lot of old 45s early last year.
\nI had bid on the lot to get my hands on a psych 45 that had long eluded me, and when the box showed up on my doorstep I was pleased to discover that it also included several other excellent records that I hadn\u2019t been counting on.
\nIf you\u2019ve followed the blog over the years, you\u2019ll already know that I\u2019m down with the whole Mirwood bag, especially the rotating cast of characters that was really just two cats, i.e. Bob and Earl <\/strong>(aka Bob Relf<\/strong> and Earl Nelson, aka Jackie Lee <\/strong>and on and on etc etc).
\nI won\u2019t rehash the whole shebang here, except to say that I\u2019ve come to the point in my life where Mirwood has become something of a dependable brand, i.e. if it\u2019s on the label and I don\u2019t know, I\u2019m going to grab it all the same.
\nWhen I pulled Bob and Earl\u2019s \u2018Baby, Your Time Is My Time\u2019 out of that big carton it was unsleeved, and as the scan above (and a listen to the recording) reveals, the tiniest bit road weary<\/em>.
\nThat said, it was not a song that I knew, but as soon as I gave it a spin, it became a fave.
\nThe vast majority of the Bob and Earl\/Jackie Lee sides I own are upbeat dancers. When I dropped the needle on \u2018Baby, Your Time Is My Time\u2019 I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that the pair were also capable of turning out sophisticated soul as well.
\n\u2018Baby\u2026\u2019, written by Relf, Nelson and label honcho Fred Smith<\/strong> is a mid tempo number with an absolutely stellar arrangement, with the silky strings, vibe accents, understated horns and of course great singing.
\nThere\u2019s a point about halfway through where things threaten to pick up speed, but a horn break and some bluesy guitar downshift, and things get right back into the groove.
\nIt\u2019s a really great side.
\nI hope you dig it, and I\u2019ll be back on Monday.<\/p>\n

Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n

Larry<\/strong><\/p>\n
