Listen\/Download – Funky16Corners Pays Tribute to Billy Miller from the WFMU Rock and Soul Ichiban Stream 1\/1\/17 MP3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

What you see before you today is a downloadable version of a radio show I put together for the WFMU Rock and Soul Ichiban Stream<\/a><\/strong>, which ran this past Sunday, January 1, 2017.<\/p>\n

The grand poobah of the WFMU\/Ichiban, Debbie D<\/strong> asked me to participate in a five hour long birthday tribute to the great Billy Miller<\/strong>, who passed away this past November.<\/p>\n

As explained in a post I wrote just after he died,<\/a> Billy and his wife Miriam Linna<\/strong> were a huge influence on my own musical and pop cultural sensibilities starting in the early 80s via their mighty zine Kicks<\/strong> and later through their work with their label Norton Records.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Norton\/Kicks were devoted to plumbing the depths of musical history and paying overdue tribute to some of the wildest, largely unsung artists ever to make records, in garage punk, rockabilly, R&B, soul, surf and beat.<\/p>\n

When Debbie asked me to put together a portion of the birthday tribute, I wanted to assemble a collection that reflected the vibe that Billy and Miriam put out into the world and its effect on my own work at Funky16Corners<\/strong> and Iron Leg.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This hour-long set includes plenty of soul and R&B, but also some stuff you wouldn’t normally hear at Funky16Corners, including some rockabilly, and early rock instros.<\/p>\n

I think it all fits together well, and I hope you dig it.<\/p>\n

So pull down the ones and zeros, and I’ll see you all on Friday.<\/p>\n

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

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