Rbman Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 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. More to follow..........
Guest soultronic Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 looks like a real thriving scene over there . read about some of Dave's record hunting adventures on various sites and blogs. some fantastic stories. living the dream ! but maybe the reality is a bit different. first time I heard the originals - suspicion Dave played it twice at Manchester tiffanys all nighter . still in my top ten. not keen on the speeded up mix though .1982 ? look forward to the follow up stories.shorty
