A Visit From The Soul Chef!

SoulSistas and SoulBruthas! Hope all is well in your world. I've got a very, very special treat for you today. My main SoulBrutha, The Soul Chef aka Vincent from Fufu Stew has dropped in for a visit and brought me a plate from his kitchen. Now, this is one of the baddest cats out there and it's quite an honor to sample his concoctions. As I peeled off the foil wrapping and the aroma of another of his masterful dishes permeated the room, I knew he had delivered yet again. So, with the sincerest thanks to the Chef, as we say here in the Southern USA, get ready to get your grub on!

Hello, kiddies.

It's a real pleasure to drop by the HeavySoulBrutha's pad and share some of my wholesome treats for your hungry ears. This is the second installment of Talking Loud And Saying Nothing, 70 minutes of instrumentals all from 45s. Nothing too heavy but totally satisfying all the same... Most of the tunes presented here are relatively hard to come by but not too expensive if you do find them (in most cases at any rate).

As the introspeak says:

"...ain't no words to this song; you just dance and hum along."

Dave, thanks a million for having me over. We've definitely gotta do it again soon. Now if that ain't enough, you're always welcome to drop by my place for plenty more, especially the hot and spicy dish of funky Jazz that the SoulBrutha left for us...As always have fun and be safe.
