It's been a while since I last posted (again!). Last week's show was OK. I got some good feedback. It was a bit of a mixture but I particularly liked the Mandrill tracks that I played. This week's (29/07) is a 'funk' show. It's kind of accessible funk and not too deep - I tred yto incorporate a blend of funky music, or more to the point music that I think is funky, whilst staying aaway from the usual suspects! I also included (for variation) a few tracks from the 1980's. I avoided 'Play That Funky Music' and 'Brick House' which I tend to play to death. Playing 'Good Times - Cameo' was a bit of a nostalgic trip. I've rarely played that in 25 odd years so it was good to hear it again. It was the 'B' side to 'Funk Funk' and I just felt, spontaneuosly that Funk Funk wouldn't work into the show.

Nothing much else has happened - although a possibility of a sponsor for the show! I was told my Saturday night slot gets on average 350 listeners!! More for the repeat during the week! I'm proud of that. It's also interesting through my stats to see where my visitors come from...the strangest country, to date is Niger! Althoug The Seychelles, Croatia and Poland have come up on the stats. I can honestly say RetroRuss is a global phenomen!!
