| Home Sweet Home |
It´s Monday already...
so I hope all of you had a nice weekend.
I had a very good time with my family. Home Sweet Home indeed.
All those nice homely feelings make me start this weeks Struttin My Stuff show with some houses and homes songs. Needless to say they all fit perfectly in our usual mix of knowns and unknowns from Blues, R´n B, (Afro) Funk, Soul, Gospel and Much Much More.

Two of all these beauties stand out, at least for the little story behind them:
Guess who the organ player is on Doug Brown and the Omens Thank Goodness It´s Friday? Yes, it´s Bob Seger himself! Boss Doug later on became Seger´s producer. The man certainly knew his place.
A real unknown is Edward Ross, whose alter ego Little Buck didn´t get famous either. Ross was a member of New Orleans greats Huey Piano Smith and the Clowns though. His great Whisper My Name was backed with Little Boy Blue, which is actually the instrumental track of Eddie Bo´s Lover And A Friend. Producer and Seven B label owner Joe Banashak just added Ross´/Buck´s vocals.
Anyway, the record wasn´t what you can call a hit, but nowadays you pay a loooot of money for a copy. Strange world we´re living in.
Have fun with the show!
