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 stumbled into a great broadcast the week before Mardi Gras. Man, that guy was telling some incredible stories of Mardi Gras back in the 50's. I have to remember to tune in to that again. I think it was "Records from the Crypt"

Haven't been by HOTG lately but looks like you're still going strong -- keep it up...
Hi, thanks for commenting on Home of the Groove. Due to heavy spamming, I moderate all comments before they are published. So, there may be some delay before you see your comment on the post. I try to get valid comments up the same day, if possible. Thanks for your patience.
Happy Fat Tuesday, yourself, and thanks for the timely tunes.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out, Dan! There is no experience in radio quite like spinning tunes on WWOZ on Mardi Gras.
ReplyDeleteI got to hear most of your shift, Reap. Great job. Hope you passed a fine MG.
