Pocomania leaned to the African side of things, its Pentecostal-style services owing an obvious debt to African possession ceremonies. Worshippers would internal linkdance counter-clockwise to powerful internal linkdrums while breathing very deeply; this "trumping" would sometimes brings on possession—the "little madness" that lent the church its name.

On that same train ride, I shared a couchette with four other people. (It had two sets of triple-tier bunk beds.) In the cabin where my friend Dan and three members of another family, two elderly parents and their grown son. The elderly father was tubercular and for the entire ride was coughing up phlegm into a plastic baggie.

I drank a lot of espresso that trip.

Do they get their inspiration from the Hampton Grease Band's Halifax?

Everyone who knew him adored him, Cecile. I once got a call during a show from one of his students.

Taking this show mobile; in case my connection has a conniption, thanks for the delightful show, Doug!!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:47am Helen of Schenectady:

Is this JB cover downloadable somewhere?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:47am Doug Schulkind:

@Alex in Illinois
NO! My dear friend (and a friend to all who love music) Adam Lore tipped me off to a current eBay listening of this record. The listing provided full-song downloads, so I grabbed them!!!!!!!
  11:48am Andujar:

love the JB cover!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:49am Doug Schulkind:

@Helen of Schenectady
I found it on an eBay listing. Not sure if it is still posted. Go search. If you can find it, email me and I will send you both Fadaul tracks!

This offer goes for everyone!

This Intensive Heat song was on Jet Magazine's "Soul Brothers Top 20" list in 1971: books.google.com...

You, too, Van in DC. Have a lovely and DRY weekend!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55am Helen of Schenectady:

I searched under fadaul and nothing came up, so if you can send that would be great.

Thank you for the cromulent show, Doug.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:55am Doug Schulkind:

Every with a seat belt is advised to put it on before the next, and, sadly, final, track commences...

Helen, send me an email and I will send you the tracks!

Doug, I'd love to say 'Great show' so 'Great show'.
By this time next week I will have seen William Parker & co. Nyah.

This version of "Summertime" makes me want to do tongue rolls all day long.

This is a rarity.
Avatar 11:59am Carmichael:

Hey, the stream jumped, Doug!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:59am Doug Schulkind:

You absolutely MUST go to Youtube after the show and watch the video of this performance. Billy is for some inexplicable reason wearing an absurdly large cowboy hat.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 11:59am Uncle Michael:

Thanks for the show, Doug. See you all for cake.
Avatar 🥁 12:00pm duke:

What happened to Billy?
Avatar 12:00pm Carmichael:

I'm suddenly getting some calypso song.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member 12:00pm Uncle Michael:

What's happening, Doug?
Avatar 12:00pm Carmichael:

Harsh ending ... :)
