"Nightflight" Tue Jan 4,2011, 9P-12M ET: 26 New Extended versions....Motown & MORE!

[midnight johnny]

2110

Happy New Year, Folks! Hope your transition into 2011 was a smooth and happy one for you. It's been a little while since I have created some remixes/extended versions for airplay. Over the holidays, I was able to find some songs I never thought I would find to deconstruct/reconstruct and extend to a length that they deserve...always doing my utmost best to stay out of the way of the integrity of the original piece. This time, we have Motown [[hits, rarities, and album tracks), Soul, Pop, Rock and Psychedelic...the music of our lives...26 of them! Even though I have gotten wonderful response from you all and youtube members, it's always a little unnerving to air these "tinkered-with" tracks, but at the same time very exciting. They will eventually be put up on youtube...sometime...so if you want to catch the the "unveiling"...join me tonight...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown/WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and streaming LIVE worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org)

Thanks for giving me an opportunity to present these pieces to you! I always appreciate your feedback. See you on the radio! :cool:

Where Philly Soul is the liver and guts of Nightflight.

[MotownSteve]

Hi Jim, I like Philly Soul but I hate liver. I mean really hate.

[JimBagley]

HI Steve. At least you get welcomed on the radio.

[midnight johnny]

Jim....sorry...didn't see your post! Wecome! Happy New Year too...

[lovechild]

Thanks for this Chris Montez medley ... I just recently heard it for the first time since forever at a Bobs Big Boy lol

[JimBagley]

Does Bob's Big Boy still have a breakfast buffet? They don't have them in my area anymore.

[midnight johnny]

Thanks for this Chris Montez medley ... I just recently heard it for the first time since forever at a Bobs Big Boy lol

[JimBagley]

Glad to hear it. Yumsy.

[lovechild]

[JimBagley]

I love the intro to Bend Me Shape Me. It always reminded me of the classic Bobby Sherman/David Soul/Biddie tv series "Here Comes The Brides."

[midnight johnny]

I always loved that intro to...part of the reason why I wanted to work on it....

[MotownSteve]

Hi Jim,
From what I've found the nearest Bob's Big Boy to you in in Ohio. Same for me of course. There used to be one about 15 minutes from me.

[JimBagley]

Ohio? No more Bob's Big Boy for me then.

Nino and April? Take me back!!!

[MotownSteve]

Have you tried Five Guys Burgers? I hear they are pretty good.

[JimBagley]

Have you tried Five Guys Burgers? I hear they are pretty good..


No, but I've been to Chee-burger Chee-burger.

[JimBagley]

Thanks for the Glenn Yarbrough. I haven't listened to him in many years.

[lovechild]

A super Glenn classic Thanks!

[sophisticated_soul]

A super Glenn classic Thanks!

I thought of you the second it started!

[MotownSteve]

The Chee Burger Chee Burger near me opened, closed, re-opened, closed for good.

[JimBagley]

The Chee Burger Chee Burger near me opened, closed, re-opened, closed for good.

They sound confused.

[MotownSteve]

There have been about ten restaurants at that location over the last 20 years and they have all failed.

[lovechild]

I thought of you the second it started!

LOL backatcha Joseph

[midnight johnny]

A super Glenn classic Thanks!

Thanks, Tone!!!

[lovechild]

JP your Time and Love duet is much better then the other one listed on you tube BRAVO TO YOU!

[midnight johnny]

JP your Time and Love duet is much better then the other one listed on you tube BRAVO TO YOU!

Thanks, Tony [[I think so too) [[*grin)

[MotownSteve]

But will you put that one on YouTube? Time and Love that is.

[lovechild]

omg is In and Out of Love on you tube?

[sophisticated_soul]

I think "In Out Of Love" is Diana, Mary and Florence. If I recall correctly most or all of the songs on the "Reflections" album were recorded before Flo left although Cindy is on the cover. Just like Cindy was on all the songs on the "Floy Joy" album although Linda Laurence is on the cover.

[midnight johnny]

But will you put that one on YouTube? Time and Love that is.


Steve...it's been up for 6 months.....

maybe you will end up liking it hehe

[midnight johnny]

Ive seen a couple of songs as background to some great '40's dancing film...terrific stuff!

[sophisticated_soul]

"Just A Little Misunderstanding" is probably my favorite Contours song. As much as I loved The Supremes, their version was just too watered down.

[MotownSteve]

I'll have to look for some more.

[JimBagley]

She can be covered with a rash, long as she's got some cash!

[midnight johnny]

"Just A Little Misunderstanding" is probably my favorite Contours song. As much as I loved The Supremes, their version was just too watered down.


I agree....those DRATS did water down some of their material.

[sophisticated_soul]

Didn't the J. Geils Band cover "First I Look At The Purse".

[positivesoul]

Good Evening Midnight Johnny & the Nightflight Fam! MJ your 2 fave Contours tunes are mine by them too. Sounding great as usual!

[midnight johnny]

She can be covered with a rash, long as she's got some cash!

[JimBagley]

They don't write lyrics like First I Look At The Purse anymore. Our loss.

[lovechild]

[sophisticated_soul]

Good Evening Midnight Johnny & the Nightflight Fam! MJ your 2 fave Contours tunes are mine by them too. Sounding great as usual!

Hey Randy, welcome. Glad you are here.

[lovechild]

The Composer - take a bow Johhny! :)

[sophisticated_soul]

Johnny, your version of "The Composer" is better than the original. Not one of my very favorite Supreme songs. LOL. But your version is excellent!

[lovechild]

wow I haven't heard Fool For You in awhile - love it

[JimBagley]

Johnny, your version of "The Composer" is better than the original. Not one of my very favorite Supreme songs. LOL. But your version is excellent!

[theboyfromxtown]

John

Can you do a "music played" list so us poor folks who are fast asleep can wake up in the morning and see what we've missed!

Better still, convince your radio people to put your show up on the internet, so that all of us can hear it

[midnight johnny]

John....you are giving me WORK to do, and all this is supposed to be fun for me. I would love to have the shows archived by the station for future listening....but it costs money...and we are a non-commercial, community supported radio station. I do bring it up to the powers that be...and I will continue to. John...thanks always for your support!
John

[theboyfromxtown]

John

I didn't mean to give you more work!!! I know you're busy but I am sure you are gonna make it...and I will wait for you-o-o

°Wink°

[Kamasu_Jr]

I haven't started the show yet....But...I'm in the studio...we start in about 7 minutes.

I realized that after awhile, but I still heard a bit of the show. You opened with the Velvelettes. I have to figure out the volume controls on my player.

[olamaebarto]

"Touch Me In The Morning" my eyeballs just rolled back into my head.
I love this song!

Penny

My eyes roll back in my head when I get "touched" in the morning too.

[theboyfromxtown]
