I’d forgot Betty Davis but I remembered the song. [youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifDycyRNpcI [/youtube] I like the line “She knows what it takes to make a problysh”. My granny used to bake them and we would eat them with pickles and tea from her samovar.

Tomorrow is national Record Store Day . That's a way to support independent record stores. And the stores will be saluting you - the buyers of music - with all sorts of things at local outlets. The Stranger has a good roundup of happenings at local stores . And if you’re in Olympia or passing through tomorrow, go by Rainy Day Records . We’re lucky to have those guys.

I am very proud to announce the release of a new, 2-CD set by Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band called Live at the Haunted House - May 18, 1968 . This is "never heard before" material (sort of...I'll get back to that point in a moment) and is an incredibly rich document of not just the Watts 103rd's own history, but a snapshot of the Los Angeles R&B scene in the late 1960s.

I came upon this magazine today: a 1976 issue of Hep , an African American tabloid from the 1970s, published out of Ft. Worth, TX. This particular issue, apart from noting that "Blacks Are More Psychic Than White" and that alarming, banner story about a wild boy raised by monkeys, also had a cover story about Betty Davis, plus stories on Donna Summer's "new" single ("Love To Love You Baby") and Miami's...
