RIBS TPTD: Songs For My Father #2…

A little today but the RIBS are finally ready!

For today’s banquet table, I’m spreading out some more tasty snacks that remember my father enjoying when i was growing up. This is the 2nd in my ongoing series that I call, “Songs For My Father”. In case you missed it, you can check out SFMF #1 here. Todays artists are:

  1. Jr. Walker and The All Stars
  2. Wilson Pickett
  3. King Curtis

There’s so much I could say about these artists and what they mean to me and how much I’ve enjoyed their music over the years. BUT… the best thing I can say that would sum it all up is: whenever I hear something from one of these three, I ALWAYS think about my Dad. He worked hard, 6 days a week most of my life as I remember, and didn’t often take the time (more like HAVE the time!) to sit and listen to music. But when he did, songs from this week’s trio were always in the mix.

So sit back, turn the volume up and groove to some classic soul from the 60’s and early 70’s. Ha! I can’t wait to see Dad this weekend and have him listen to it too. I know it’s a couple of days early but, “Happy Father’s Day!” to you dads out there.
