RIBS TPTD: Duos & Duets, part 1…

Hey! Good to see you again. I’ve got something really nice on the RIBS buffet table for ya this week.

One of the musical things I’ve always been very fond of are Duos (2-person groups) and Duets (solo artists that collaborate on a single song or, in some cases, an entire album). So I decided to pull a few of my favorites together and whip them up for a RIBS mix. Problem is I was having some trouble at first coming up enough songs for a full mix, so I put out an A.P.B. on Twitter to see if anyone of the wonderful folks in my community had some suggestions. As usual they came through, and in one instance came through BIG TIME!

At this time, before I start rambling on and on {smile}, I would like to send out a heartfelt “Thank You!” to Trelly for her help, assistance and inspiration in preparing the RIBS this week. AAMOF, I’ve given her the title of Co-Chef for this mix. This lady sent me an extensive list of songs and artists that really got me going in the right direction. BTW, if you are an up and coming and/or independent artist or group you need to get to know this lady. Trelly is the co-founder of One Nation Under The Soul Shack (ONUTSS) an indie soul promotion company. Check them out. Highly Recommended!

Also, let me send “greetings and salutations” to another Twitter contributor to the D&D mix for this week, SoulUK. If you are looking for an interesting site with quality information about soul music, the Soul:UK website is well worth a visit.

You know I got so energized by the song suggestions I was getting from my online Fam that I really started digging around in my collection and researching things online at a feverish pitch. But, I think I may have gone a little overboard though. You see, when I finally stopped and analyzed all of the music I found out I had over 8 hours worth of music. Oh boy! Since a single mix (that will fit on a CD) is only 80 minutes, that would mean that a lot of good stuff would have to be left out. I really didn’t want to do that so I thought it would be a good idea to have a “Duos & Duets” day on RIBS every month (at least for the rest of the year) so we could get a listen to all of this great music. Trelly agreed {smile} and it was decided that the D&D mix will be a regular feature on RIBS every last Thursday of the month.

OK! Let’s get on to the music, as we present to you…
