About Me

.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. I'm a lost man in a greedy fish bowl.. I'm a boring character, a loser, a low life, unhuman individual. However, I'm a joyful soul at heart. I don't have a interest unless it's a blur in my mind the next day. I always count the days I change my interest- day 1, day 2, day 3, ?????? ooops, I lost count! I love music, especially black music. I'm talking about pure black music- stompin' R&B from the 1920's- mid 1960's, gritty boogaloo soul, deep soul & funk from the mid 1960's- early 70's, deep ska rock steady- the real rude boy sound, hip hop and early rock-n-roll from the late 40's- 1956. I like northern soul- only the music part of the culture. I think John Manship is smoking crack with them dumb ass prices. You can't put a price on soul music- soul is priceless. So, throw away your Manship price guides and get back to using your soul & ears. That is where the soul is at! Anyway, about me? I'm me, can't you see? I'm human like you.. I hope that is enough junk about me? O.K. people, let's have some FUN! /> .. .. .. .. .. ..

My Interests

Playing music, listening to music, spinning up some soul platters and grooving at the go-go....

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet like minded individuals who think outside the box. I don't care what bag you're into. Just make sure it's interesting. Soulies, hardcore mods, skins, real hip hop heads, vinyl junkies, hot rod heads, scooter junkies, doowop lovers, rockabilly kittens & cats, funksters, old friends from the past, garage & freakbeat lovers and simple nice individuals are welcome here. NO call girls, strippers, cam sluts and sheep thinking people. I'd rather be around the fox types. I don't mind bands asking to join. If you're asking to join to promote your band only, do not bother! First, I got to like your music before letting you in. I think that's fair..

This summer was slow & clean. It's getting harder to find records these days. I did have a few lucky days and lots of wasteful days digging. Lately, it's been picking up a little. Not by much! Any...

I’m Calling It Quits!!!

I'm officially calling it quits from the northern soul scene. I hung up my dancing shoes and put my records in storage. It's time for me to move on and pass the torch to the next level. I gotta ...
