compilation
and I cant keep it off my player.

or see a doctor.

A track from it that is blowing me away is

Sounds good Mel. I am interested.

Weldon - take a bow.

Weldon - with this in mind, do you remember doing any sessions with 'Fela Kuti'? I have a been asked by a work colleague, as he saw your name connected with him and Roy Ayers.

By MEL&THEN SOME9 (217.14.178.44) on Sunday, July 06, 2003 - 07:30 am:

As well as my fave "grooving at the go-go'
also get those dancing shoes out for track 18
and the storming
"without you baby'

by the way the cd no. is
Jamie 4014.

MAGICAL STUFF
FROM MAGICAL ARTISTS.

I agree Mel. Weldon, when are you on the radio over here in the UK? Can you remind us all on the forum when it is. Is it later this month? Are you doing it live from Philly via ISDN?

By Weldon A. Mc Dougal III (68.80.162.3) on Saturday, August 09, 2003 - 07:34 am:

Hi Carl, I'll be on jazz fm sunday the 24th of Aug,yes I'm doing it live from Philly,Hope to be in the uk in Jan 2004.
WELDON

Thanks Weldon.

The url for the station, for those interested is:

http://www.jazzfm.com/

Simply click 'listen to jazz fm' and select either London or North West England. I believe it is the North West station that will be covering this.

This is a great chance to showcase the Philly sound from a Northern soul perspective. Weldon, if you have anybody that could video you 'on the air' during the programme, the footage could come in handy in years to come. Some budding TV person may utilise the footage, when somebody eventually realises, in TV terms, that there is enough footage to make a movie in the city. One day the footage will be rare and would be invaluable for future generations to see you in the flesh, so to speak! If I win the lottery, I will fly over and do it.

Carl
may I be your minder when you win the lottery and go over
as I Have 'door' experience.
It would be great though in all seriousness though to do a film regards all the truly great artists past and present regards the truly great talent from philly.
And if I had anything to do with it Weldon and his Larks would be a big part of it as well as
Bobby and all the others that we all know.
regards
