396: another twice as nice...

 Hi.
This will mos prob be the last post before the holiday hiatus.
So I made it into something special [:-)
There are 3 songs taken from the FANTASTIC Playing For Change
project, please visit the website and check the video's!!!
-
Again a wide array of songs, styles and what not...
I included loads of horns, hammonds and other holiday-worthy
ingredients for a 3 hour 3 minutes chillaxin' trip.
So 20 tunes (21, if I include the bonus material!) get their
cover blown twice, I lost counting, but it is one of my favourite
themes to post (in the top 3 besides Hammond & What Is Funk? maybe)
-
And, yes, before you ask, in the comments there is
a 15 minute bonus, a tribute to a series we enjoyed very much.
-
Happy holidays, have a good one and don't forget to check
in again here over at E-mile Says by the end of august!
[:-)

Enjoy.

394: Hammond heaven, vol.9

Hi.

Today finally a new episode of the beloved
Hammond orientated posts!
I was in a bit of a shock when I realized
my last How To Hammond homage was from 2011!

WTF?

But, sofar 2012 has not been such a good year for me
in the blogging sense of things, you know, general life
and other time absorbing stuff got the better hand of me,
and that is OK (by me), hope you fellas understand [:-)

Long story short, here it is, another VERY FINE mix,
concentrating on the mighty B3, some funky, jazzy, soulful,
bluesy and jamaican grooves for a great summertime siesta!

Enjoy this 2 hours of holy Hammond hospitality [:-)
