Hello, kiddies.
I know I’ve really been lacking in my duties over here, but that is soon to change. With Twentyodd Eight right around the corner I am still busy as all getout, but I’m stoked about finally going on some much deserved digs. Yep, the train keeps on rolling!
Thanks to everyone who dropped by and to all the bloggers who gave me a link. I’ll be doing lots of new stuff around here real soon along with giving this place a facelift once and for all. Due to time never really being on my side as it were, it may take a little time to get things up to speed so I hope you all keep on hanging in there… In the meantime, here’s one of my very first Fufu Stew posts posts from January. It just so happens that I chose this one after having been invited to another one of those great parties…
Please download and ehjoy “Up In Heah”, an .mp3 file, 4 MB.
I also uploaded my set from the Asbury Park 45 Session that took place last month. I will admit that my record spinning skills only pale in comparison to those around me, but as one of my many resolutions for the new year, I plan to brush up a bit. It didn’t help that the cognac flowed like water. At any rate, with the exception of a bit of volume adjustment, here is the complete performance…
