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

I\u2019m back, but I wouldn\u2019t swear that I\u2019m all there, if you know what I mean.<\/p>\n

I make reference in this space repeatedly to the storied \u201creal world moves\u201d and I\u2019m not kidding. In addition to the recent health-related stuff (things are cool, but I\u2019m taking a little time to bounce back) we\u2019ve had a full slate of responsibilities here in the Funky16Corners<\/strong> compound, which are on the cusp of a shift, which, if not resulting in a net gain of free time, will at least preclude a loss thereof.<\/p>\n

That said, I\u2019m whipped right now (physically, not philosophically<\/em>), so I\u2019m going to keep it relatively brief.<\/p>\n

First off, I have one of my Marvin sets from the DC trip recorded and ready to go, bit it\u2019s been so mix-heavy here lately I figured I\u2019d drop some individual tracks and bring that mix into the lineup in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also working on a special election mix. I was pulling records for it this morning, but I still have a little theoretical\/curatorial cooking to do, and there\u2019s still four weeks until the rise of the cranks, so just know that it\u2019ll be here sooner or later.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also a brand new edition of the Funky16Corners Radio Show<\/strong> this week (I made sure to whip it up before all the recent excitement), so you\u2019ll want to set aside an hour this Friday to dig it (though you can always fall by the blog on Saturday and pull down the ones and zeros for your personal listening device).<\/p>\n

The track I bring you today is one of my DC finds, and it was a groovy one indeed.<\/p>\n

I already knew Richard Marks\u2019<\/strong> \u2018Funky Four Corners Pt1\u2019 via a comp (it appeared here in the \u2018Getting the Corners\u2019 mix) but I hadn\u2019t scored a copy of the 45 until my trip to Washington.<\/p>\n

When I got the 45 and gave it a spin, I was very pleased to discover that \u2018Funky Four Corners Pt2\u2019 was no run of the mill \u2018second half of a funk 45\u2019 but rather a very cool version of the tune as guitar instrumental (a la Lowell Fulsom\u2019s <\/strong>\u2018Tramp\u2019\/\u2019Pico\u2019 pairing).<\/p>\n

According to my man Brian Poust<\/strong> over at the Georgia Soul <\/strong>blog,<\/a> Marks was an Atlanta-based guitarist, which naturally makes me think that it\u2019s him plucking the funky git-box on FFC2.<\/p>\n

I love the production, and the reverb and fat tone of the lead guitar on this one, so much so that I think were I to slip it into my record box, I\u2019d be happy playing either side of this one for a room full of dancers.<\/p>\n

I hope you dig it too, and that you all have a groovy weekend.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m gonna go get some snoozeration\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

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

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