So apart from me and Mike Lofthouse, any other Soul Source members heading to New Orleans for this in a couple of weeks?

I wish I was just to see Irma Thomas!  She is the best live act I've ever seen. Just love her voice.

[Godzilla]

I'm actually looking forward to a lot of the non-soul stuff too. PF Sloan for example. Roy head will be doing an R&B set and a rockabilly set later.

great line up if only, hope you guys have a great time

Cheers! Second time for me. Thought it was a sort of once in a lifetime thing but we had such a great time time at the last one two years ago (and loved the city so much) that we thought, b*llocks to it - this is what we work for anyway.

[Ljblanken]

aaaaagghhh! gonna be in Europe. Ironic.

[Kris Holmes]

I'll be there.  DJing a short set on the patio outside on one or both of the nights also.  Can't wait for it.  Killer lineup.

[Godzilla]

Cracking! The vibe on the patio was amazing in 2013

[Autumnstoned]

Looks good. Hope you have a good time.

Ian from Ace Records stopped in the record company facility in Crowley, LA to obtain 45 rpm records to bring to the Ponderosa Stomp

The record company I work with, has been in business since 1946. We're still here, two generations later.

I noticed Ian selected some Soul Unlimited releases we still have, and some Perry Serrette 45 rpm releases on the Showtime label.

If you ever have the opportunity to attend the Stomp, it is highly recommended!

Warren Storm and Lynn August are also performing at the PS this season.
We still have some of their 45s too.

the shows were incredible, especially the second night, amazing.

Sorry I missed you Kris - agree about the second night - although Willie Hightower was a real highlight for me - and loved Augie Meyers!

[Kris Holmes]

Oh Willie Hightower was incredible, voice unaffected by time, total highlight.  Brenda Holloway probably needs to walk away though.......so disappointing.
