Kris Holmes's avatar View Kris Holmes's profile Favoriting

Twenty years of dusty fingers, frayed cuticles, & upper respiratory infections — from record digging and DJing around the globe — coalesces into a 2-hour journey through Rhythm & Blues, Soul, Funk, Jazz, Blues, Latin, Rock & Roll, and all points in between. Your speakers will be head-nodding, toe-tapping & even two-stepping to this vintage 45rpm party in no time. Hear favorite songs you didn't know were your favorites, aural treats & record-world problems from the vinyl side of life.

Hi there Matt, any ideas on a theme for your birthday show?

Candy-O'67:

Hey guys, just tuning in after finishing a little Christmas shopping. Gonna be driving for a little bit and listening
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:17pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Hey Candy. Drive safe.
Avatar 10:18pm
Kris Holmes:

I just about finished my Xmas shopping today thankfully
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:20pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Can’t say I have Kris 🤷‍♂️. Maybe I’ll get some inspiration tonight.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:27pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I think that can get moved to your Garage Rock 45s Kris
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm
Candy-O'67:

i'm home safe and sound now! :)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:33pm

Jazz Flute special for my birthday?

Candy-O'67:

Yes Matt. Trying to leave tomorrow at some point...
Avatar 10:49pm
Kris Holmes:

Really Matt?
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
WR:

LOL Matt.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:52pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Just wanted to see your reaction 😂. I do love Jazz flute but probably don’t need two hours of it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:53pm
WR:

Ask for something easy, like 2 hours of Toussaint sessions where Toussaint isn't credited in any way.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:54pm
doctorjazz:

Here for a bit, Hi Kris and tired travellers!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:54pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I’m surprised you don’t have any Magnificent 7 45s
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:55pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Aka The Temptashuns
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:55pm
doctorjazz:

Love this Taj! (love Taj!). Know this from the album (1st, Jesse Ed cutting it up there), haven't heard it as a single, cool!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:02pm
WR:

Doctorjazz, your Taj Mahal radar must have pulled you here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:02pm
JtotheK:

Seasonal Greeting one and all!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:03pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Hey Doc & Jason
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:06pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I saw Taj Mahal at Castle Clinton I think in 2000. It was a really good show and nice being so close to him.
Avatar 11:09pm
Kris Holmes:

He may have even still had some voice back in 2000?
Avatar 11:09pm
Kris Holmes:

Hi Jason, thanks for the card, Merry Christmas to you & the fam!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
doctorjazz:

Saw Taj a number of times, usually in small clubs, playing solo, always loved the shows.
Yeah, Kris, he sounds a bit like a frog these days (but a very soulful, in tune/funky frog)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:10pm
Candy-O'67:

Hey WR, doctorjazz , and Jason
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:11pm
doctorjazz:

Hey Candy, WR, Matt!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:13pm
Matt from New Orleans:

He had a band with him that day Doc. I think that was the Phantom Blues Band era.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:14pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Not sure who actually backed him that day
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:15pm
WR:

Hi Candy
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:18pm

thanks Kris, and thanks for another year of tunes and comment board chatter!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:19pm
doctorjazz:

Hi, JtotheK!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:22pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Can’t you just buy stuff on New Zealand e-commerce sites and ship it?
Avatar 11:24pm
Kris Holmes:

Matt, remember who you're talking to
Avatar 11:25pm
Kris Holmes:

Yes, people could do that, am I one of those people? Not sure
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:26pm
doctorjazz:

This Malo ROCKS!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:28pm
WR:

If nothing else perhaps Amazon Aussie or NZ. I've bought items on Amazon Japan and had them shipped to my family there.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:31pm
WR:

I've finished eating, including dessert, I'm willing to tip but no one is bussing the table or washing the dishes. Reliable help is scarce.

Translation, two beers with dinner is knocking me out. Only the funk is keeping me conscious.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:36pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I made red beans and rice the other day. So easy to make and I always have so much leftovers for the freezer.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:39pm
Matt from New Orleans:

😂
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:42pm
WR:

That Red Beans & Rice tune actually made me recall eating in New Orleans at Buster Holmes. Ah. Memories. The chicken was cooked with lots of garlic. And the pork chops. sigh.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:44pm
WR:

Gift cards can be good because they can get what they want.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:46pm
doctorjazz:

Haven't been to New Orleans in quite a long time-got there twice in the 90's for the Jazz and Heritage Festival. Was going to take another crack at the festival 8 years ago, tickets purchased and everything, but a death in the family nixed the plan. Hopefully get there again in not too long a time...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
doctorjazz:

Wild Wading, doesn't sound all that safe.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
WR:

Last time I was there was to accompany my daughter to Jazz Fest, I think in 2013...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:50pm
Matt from New Orleans:

That place closed before my time WR but Austin Leslie also made a garlicky fried chicken. Had his chicken at Jacque Imos back in the late 90s/early 00s. He moved on to Pampy’s before he passed not long after Katrina. He used to own Chez Helene’s and there was a TV show based on him that lasted one season. Frank’s Place. Seems lost to time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:51pm
Matt from New Orleans:

The album version is even crazier WR
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:52pm
Matt from New Orleans:

I know Larry is a fan. Not sure if he’s played it on his show here.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm
JtotheK:

Nice Mandells track. I also like "Think Back".
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:53pm
Matt from New Orleans:

Thanks Kris. Night All. Happy Holidays.

It’s almost 8 minutes on the album WR. Christo Redentor
