About Me

I recently started a SOUL/FUNK music blog to share some of, what I think, is the best music in the world. I try to highlight music that you may have never heard before, although there will certainly be some familiar faces every now and then. I'm certainly no expert. There are lots of folks out there blogging that have a vast knowledge of the music that's far greater than mine. I just know what sounds good and what I like. If I share it, I think it's quality and my hope is that you will too. I do my best to point you in the right direction so you can support the artists and BUY their records. So please stop by "Put The Needle On The Record" (HERE) and if there's anything there you dig, please check it out and ENJOY!! Peace and SOUL...
