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

I have so much stuff to do this weekend that I was going to forgo the regularly scheduled Friday post, but thought it might be a good idea to touch base with you all about the goings on here in Funky16Cornersville<\/em> that I changed my mind.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, I\u2019ll be traveling down to Washington, DC this weekend with my records for a couple of DJ-type extravaganzas.<\/p>\n

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

Saturday night I\u2019ll be sharing the decks with my man DJ Birdman <\/strong>at Marvin<\/strong> (2007 14th Street, NW), and while we\u2019re likely to get started on the mellower side of things, you know that as soon as the little hand starts pointing up the place will be banging, so if you dig delicious food, Belgian beer and the best in funk, soul and disco, you should fall by and join us.<\/p>\n

The following day I\u2019ll be doing a set at the DC Record Fair<\/strong>, and naturally also buying some records. I expect I\u2019ll be running into all manner of interwebs friends, so stop by and say hi if you\u2019re there.<\/p>\n

Of course if you\u2019re about on Friday night, say around 9PM you should head over to Viva <\/strong>internet radio<\/a> for the Funky16Corners Radio Show for an hour of the best funk, soul, jazz and rare groove, all from original vinyl sources. The show will be then be archived (as an MP3) for download.<\/p>\n

The track I bring you today is one of the truly great things that Jimmy Smith<\/strong> recorded during the 60s (maybe his best<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\u2018The Cat\u2019 is a stunner, and that my friends is all I going to (or have time to) say this fine day (aside from the following bit of hyperbole…or is it<\/em>???). It smokes from start to finish and is the bad-assiest <\/em>of all the bad-ass<\/em>, bad-assery <\/strong>ever committed via the intercession of Mr. Hammond’s<\/strong> mighty electric organ-o-phone.<\/p>\n

Dig it, and I\u2019ll be back on Monday with a whole new mix of Hammond organ goodness.<\/p>\n

Have yourselves a great weekend.<\/p>\n

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

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