Finally got around to reading the Doug Wimbish interview that Pinwheel Herman has been urging me to look at for quite a while now. Mr. Herman even posted a link to this DW interview in the Snark blog comments recently. (It's in "I Got A Twenty-Bar Poem In A Battle Rap..." from Dec.27/11.)
I enjoyed Doug Wimbish talking about his Sugar Hill days so much that I want to do a new weekly special highlighting Sugar Hill songs he played his monster bass on. (The Winter of Wimbish?) Let's get funky!

Addendum:
Coincidentally, Dave Konstantino, the host and dj of Revolution Rock, played another Willie C. Echols tune on the following Tuesday after I played this one. We agreed that, surely, that is the most radio play the Moon Man has gotten for a very, very, very long time. The Moon Man is back! Right here on CJAM 99.1-fm!

from Moon Man, by Tomi Ungerer, 1966, Harper & Row.

"We Had Fun But It's Just Begun..."

A song based on a coffee commercial jingle.
Thanks to Mike Hillis for this fun find.
It features Ernie Freeman - xylophone, Rene Hall - guitar,
Red Callender - bass, and Earl Palmer - drums.
