Last few days of my current stay in NYC and recovering from a heavy day on the beer watching the football and then rushing across Midtown to the west side to meet Dave Withers in a dive bar of his choosing to talk about record collecting/ dealing and his Stafford DJing days.
I had met Dave for the first time the previous week at Subway Soul Club night near Times Square although only at about 3.30am and I think we were both a bit worse for wear! We however agreed to meet up and talk about all things soul. Of most interest was the Robb K / Rod Shard / TOTW Motown story.......could make a short book on that......
the previous week I met up with Greg Tormo at the Port Authority bus terminal and caught a bus to Hoboken and was treated to a six pack of Newcastle Brown Ale great records on his twin deck set up and look through 100 of records. Great hospitality..........fantastic stories.
