Senior moments abound here at HOTG.
Through a recent comment from Jon Tyler, who offered to help find out more information on the "Gospel Bird" vs "Soul Machine" issue [August 4, 2006], I learned that he is webmaster of this site, the full title of which is The "Complete" Neville Recording Chronology, which is not only a mouthful to say, but a huge undertaking. The Neville family, in all its musical permuations and combinations, have been involved with recording for about 50 years now. While I am knocked out by what a fine job Jon has done with his site, which he keeps regularly updated, I am equally amazed that I'd never run across it in searches, read about it, or been told about it previously. As you might have noticed, I try to keep up with as much New Orleans music information as possible. Either Jon needs better PR, or I am losing it - and I suspect the latter.
I have added the site to the HOTG reference links and urge you to check it out.
Jon, thanks for your offer to help; and I'm glad I found out about you, too! I'll be checking in regularly.
Based on the premise that the true Home of the Groove, at least on the North American landmass, is the irreplaceable musical and cultural nexus, New Orleans, Louisiana and environs, this audioblog features rare, hard to find, often forgotten, vintage New Orleans-related R&B and funk records with commentary. Some general knowledge of N.O. music is helpful here, but not required to get your groove on.

I hadn't seen the site either. A great addition to New Orleans web presence.
ReplyDeleteGreat link I'm indeed a fan of Neville Brothers's music and I can see that I still have a lot of items missing in my collection ;o)
ReplyDeleteJon's site is a fantastic resource for music lovers (information geeks, too!). He's put it all up as a tribute to the Neville's collective and for other fans to use and enjoy. To me, that's why the internet is awesome.
