Because the union locals of the American Federation of Musicians also act as an employment agency Earl could not book himself out. He was a full time union official.

The record companies(if they still exist) and publishing companies will receive money. Deopending on their recording and publishing conracts the artistes and writers may also get paid. In reality very few artists receive royalties and a number of songwriters sold their half of the publishing. Last year for the first time ever PRS/PPL charged hospital radio stations so there are no exemptions.

In between Bobby Gregg at Cameo and Earl Young in the disco days of Sigma Sound the main drummer was Karl Chambers. it could be him.

People forget that Booker T's drummer Al Jackson also played with Willie Mitchell and that could be Al on That Driving Beat.

Probably Bobby Gregg on drums.

That would be Earl Palmer who went on to drum at Gold Star for Spector and then became full time secretary for the AFM Los Angeles Local. He''s drumming again.

That necessary licence is normally held by the venue rather than the DJ but Now, the organisations that represent composers & publishers of music [PRS] and the record companies and performers [PPL] have come together to promote the use of music in public places and give some new music users a one stop shop for their music licences. They are currently raiding takeway and fast food outlets. So DJ's are Ok unless they have more than one person in their home say at a record session when they will receive a chap at their door and a demand for money. I was playing music at a fund raising quiz night hosted by the local community police and made the mistake of unzipping my CD folder without checking the shop purchased ones were on the top. They are quite sharp eyed, the Bastards but they let me off. I think DJ's are in more danger from the tax man and maybe the VAT man for import duty.

Earl Palmer is a hero of mine. He played drums with Litle Richard and on the Spector records before giving it up to become Branch secretary of the LA Musicians Union. I don't think he played on many LA soul sessions as small labels couldn't afford him but Sinatra and others could. https://www.laweekly.com/ink/99/35/music-whiteside.php

I'm reading Nick Tosches book "Where dead voices gather..." about Emmett Miller, a yodelling blackface performer. Anyway I thought this paragraph maybe of interest to collectors. "These earliest (1924) Miller recordings, "Anytime" and "The Pickaninnies Paradise" were believed for a very long time to be lost and indeed often believed never to have been released at all. However in 1996 a copy of this first Miller record was brought forth by Richard J. Johnson, a collector in Aylesbury, England. Johnson had acquired the record about twenty years earlier from British jazz bandleader Chris Barber. On a tour of the United States, Barber had found and purchased a vast storehouse of 78RPM records, mostly jukebox stock and also many in mint state and still sealed in their various pressing plant boxes and warehouse crates. The records spanned some forty years from about 1910 to the mid fifties, and every musical variety. Barber had the hoard shipped home to England and stashed in a three storey building in Harpenden, Bedfordshire, where they were sorted into roughly three categories: ground floor, jazz; next floor, blues and rhythm and blues; top floor unknown and unsorted. On his first visit Johnson bought nothing, as he had no money. On his second visit, he bought nothing, "as there was so much shellac I could not take it all in." On his third visit, he spent seven hours going through the boxes on the top floor. He left with two large bags crammed so full with heavy 78's that he could barely lift them. He hauled them nearly a mile or so to the bus stop, and after a two hour ride, there was another half a mile to walk before he arrive home. But the fragile records survived the journey intact. Among them was Okeh 40239. To the best of Johnson's recollection, the purchase price was thirty or forty pence." "Checking the label info against Brian Rust's 'Jazz records 1897-1942' it was apparent that no one, neither Rust nor his hundreds of correspondents, had ever actually seen this record. Johnson passed the label information along to Rust, and it was incorporated in a later edition." "Twenty years later, perusing the notes of the 1996 Emmett Miller CD collection, Johnson came upon the statement that Miller's first record 'is so rare that no copies are known to exist.' Johnson sent a cassette of the recording to Lawrence Cohn, the album's executive producer. The tape was broadcast in Los Angeles by Ian Whitcomb on his KPCC-FM radio show on April 10th 1996 when Cohn appeared as a guest to promote the Sony CD." So an eighty year old record is still attracting interest. Could it be played today? Possibly not in the Modern room but maybe on an R&B night?

Lenny Harkins played But I Couldn't at The Caledonian Soul Club. Was still cheap last year as I picked one up on E Bay. https://www.radiomagnetic.com/forum/viewtop...t=willie+harper

Sorry I forgot your criminal train fare skipping ways.

I have confirmed this week's guest as Lenny Toshack, veteran DJ and all round good guy. Davie Hudson was in Belfast last weekend and will be appearing on reflections on Northern Soul on Saturday 28th January. The Reflections with Kenny Burrell has yet to appear on the archives and I'm investigating where it is. I do have a copy myself which I was editing for Kenny so it should appear sometime. The Christmas show s in the can for broadcast n Saturday 24th December and is a mixture of Motown, Soul, R&B and ahem some jazz takes on the Christmas theme. The New Year show on the 31st will be the recording I have of Colin Law and Lenny Harkins at Goodfoot's 14th Anniversary party. Back to tomorrow Lenny will be bringing in a fabulous selection of singles for your delight. After I pick him up from the station it's straight to reflections for 2:30 and two hours of fabulous soul on www.radiomagnetic.com If you wish a mention for your own club, gig, magazines, sales list , yourself, your friends and your family e mail studio@radiomagnetic.com Have a good weekend FrankM

It's on Lost Soul treasures Vol 1 which is a bootleg. When I do the Top ten highest priced norther soul singles on ebay on reflections there are alway a couple that don't appear to be on CD. Is this on a CD "Royal Five " " My Baby Cares For Me " Cobra

Vampi Soul re isued it on CD and vinyl Check what an original went for last year. i wonder if it has doubled. https://www.popsike.com/php/detaildata.php?itemnr=4047220389

This is the key point . Local control and local objections. It took some time in Scotland but there have been a few committee members who decided to use their position of Chairs of licensing to appear in the papers on a regular basis.They used the powers of the Licensing court to impose curfews, curtail and occasionally extend hours , improve hygiene and stop happy hours. From a position of struggling to get a quorum licensing coarts have become the springboards for launching a serious political career. We nearly lost the Woodside last year down to one objector due to the noise associated with people leaving a club.

The Hot track off latin Soul for young people is Pete Rodriguez and "I Like it like that". Thye've heard iat the Odeon where it's used as a backing for booking ad. I've found Willie Bobo's Evil Ways so I'm to include it in today's reflectiions.

I always thought the original was by Santana from their album Abraxas but it looks as if they covered it. Possibly the original was by Willie Bobo. It was written by Sonny Henry and i have a chessy version by Al De Lory who covered Santana's version. Kent included Cal Tjader's version on a vinyl compilation and it's on one of their MOd Jazz series. The Village Callers definitely recorded it before Santana and they were based in San Francisco.

I can well remember the Funk Brothers playing the Highlanders Institute.

Here's a playlist of stuff I put together for a Sub Tropique show on radiomagnetic. Unfortunately it did not make the archive. Quite a bit of Bugalu The TnT Boys Musica del alma Jerry O Karate Boogaloo Alvin Cash and the Registers Alvin's Boogaloo Mongo Santamaria Fatback Joe Bataan La Botella Jangal Dom um Romao Patti labelle Teach me tonight Dizzy Gillespie Band Bang Willie Bobo Boogaloo in room 802 Willie Rosario Watusi Boogaloo Cool Benny Wobble Cha Bobby Valentin Use it before you lose it Poncho Sanchez Hey Bud Harvey Averne Dozen The Word Di Melo Kilario Troubleman Nina Miranda Paz Jack Costanza Gerry Woo Jive samba Fran "El Chuchi"Anaya No me Puedo Quedor Hector Rivers I want a chance for romance Joey Pastrano King of latin Soul Candido Tic tac Toe King Nando Funk Shingaling Ricardo Ray Nitty Gritty Ricardo Marrero a Taste of latin Cal Tjader Evil Ways
