"Nightflight" Tue Jan 15, 9P-12M ET: My Extended Versions....New and Redone!!

[midnight johnny]

Howdy, Folks! I got a new slew of music for yew...errr...YOU! It's been a while since I aired my extended versions...about 5 months...enough time to create a batch of new ones and redone ones [[redone because sometimes it takes a few times before you get it right). You'll hear extended versions by the Vandellas, Supremes, Marvin and Tammi, Jackie Wilson, Stevie Wonder, the Moments, and so many more. So do join
me tonight for all this and more...on "Nightflight"...on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown and WFMR 91.3 FM Orleans and we are streaming live in digital stereo at www.womr.org [[http://www.womr.org/)
Thanks! John
...and a BIG PS: join me next week for a very special "Listener's Choice" show. SDF's own Joseph Monreal
aka "sophisticated_soul...has put together part 2 of a tribute to the late, great Etta James...and amazingly without repeating any of the tracks he used for last year's "Etta" part one! I'm very excited, Joseph!!!

[Methuselah2]

Sounds like a slew of super-good nights.
This night tonight, as well as those upcoming.

"A thousand good nights. And tell all your friends--especially Midnight Johnny and Sophisticated Soul--I said 'Good night'."
-- Mavis Arden

[sophisticated_soul]

Thank you John, actually I'm getting a bit excited myself. I love being able to do another tribute to the great Etta James! It was a bit of a challenge to come up with an all new program but Peaches recorded 30 plus albums so I had a lot to chose from. More deep cuts this time. I hope everyone will enjoy this show as much as last years. Hard to believe she's been gone a year [[January 20th) already.

Very much looking forward to more of your magical mixes - and I love the redo's because you out do yourself! That's awesome - and tricky!:)

Sadly, Love Child, cannot be with us again tonight. He will be his family, his brother is not doing well. I know we all send him our love at this difficult time.

See you and the gang on the Radiola!:cool:

Did we ever get the second part of the Louvain Demps interview up?

[R. Mark Desjardins]

Methuselah;
Very clever, your "Mavis Arden" reference. For those not in on the "in joke," a 1930's stage Play, "Personal Appearance," was reworked as a film vehicle for Mae West, retitled. "Go West Young Man." "A streamlined Mae, in modern dress," the trailers proclaimed! West plays a send up of a Hollywood star stranded in a backwater when her limo breaks down, giving her lots of opportunity to try to seduce service station hunk, Randolph Scott. Pure corn, camp and fun, you can take the girl out of Brooklyn, but ya just can't take the Brooklyn out of the girl!

My hope is to get my manuscript, In Search Of Mae West," published in the near future. Meanwhile, I'll have my ear glued to my radio, but unlike Mae. I'm NOT prepared to say "goodnight" till the last note of Midnight Johnny's fabulous extended versions fades in the air.

[Methuselah2]

And I will be first in line to buy a copy, Mark!

[JimBagley]

Looking forward to your show, John, and Joseph's Etta James show next week. Will sign on as soon as I get home tonight.

Hi John,
Looking forward to the next few hours.

[Methuselah2]

I feel the Randolph-Ross debate comin' on!

[midnight johnny]

Howard and Steve....welcome, Gents!!!!

[midnight johnny]

I feel the Randolph-Ross debate comin' on!

No debate, smarty pants!!

[MotownSteve]

Spring? The forecast here calls for snow and rain.

[sophisticated_soul]

One Girl Too Late - always a perfect choice! Thanks John, such a lovely song.:)

[Methuselah2]

SMARTY PANTS
First Choice

Oops. Sorry. Wrong thread.

[Methuselah2]

I'm waiting for you to offer up Joseph. With a pledge.

[sophisticated_soul]

Oh man, I should've have included it!:) Great mix on Etta John! But I included Tell Mama on the first show - if only I had your remix then! Dang it all.;)
Hope you all will tune in next week!

[Methuselah2]

If it's Joseph or a CD, there's no question about it--it's Jo . . s . . e . . . p . . .

Hmmm. Wait a sec. What's the CD?

Trust me, you'll be better off with the CD.;)

[sophisticated_soul]

We're having record cold weather in San Diego city. This morning it was 35 degrees in downtown. That kind of weather is usually only found in the county mountains. Baby it's cold outside! Right now at 7:00pm it's 49 degrees, that's cold for us spoiled San Diegans! B-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r!:[[

[Glenpwood]

Greetings John and the gang!

Hope everyone is having a great night and hope I haven't missed too much!

[Methuselah2]

Not a chance. I just checked the list of every CD ever made. So . . .

Final answer: Joseph!

[JimBagley]

Thanks for Ooh Ooh Child. I will never tire of this song and the longer, the better.

[midnight johnny]

Greetings John and the gang!

Hope everyone is having a great night and hope I haven't missed too much!

Welcome, Glen......and welcome Jim!!!!

[sophisticated_soul]

Greetings John and the gang!

Hope everyone is having a great night and hope I haven't missed too much!

You missed an awesome remix of Diana Ross' "This Is My Place"!

[Glenpwood]

I would've been here sooner but La Scala wouldn't let me leave my table until everyone finished eating. They are quite stringent in their rules and standards, no wonder Diana and Rhonda rebelled! Hehe

Oh wait, is it too soon to go there?:D

[sophisticated_soul]

Not a chance. I just checked the list of every CD ever made.

Did that include multiple disc deluxe editions?

[sophisticated_soul]

Oh wait, is it too soon to go there?:D

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Glenpwood]

You missed an awesome remix of Diana Ross' "This Is My Place"!

Joseph, I hate that but I promised not to miss a moment of your tribute to Etta next week! The first was beyond compare! Looking forward to the hidden treasures of volume two

Thank you Glen. It was kind comments like yours last time that encouraged me to do a second show.

[midnight johnny]

[sophisticated_soul]

[MotownSteve]

Hi John,
When you have a chance, check your 'in' box.

[Methuselah2]

Did that include multiple disc deluxe editions?

It does. Even Universal-Motown Expandeds and Lost/Founds. But if John ever releases a CD of his remixes, well, sorry Joseph, you're history. I gotta go where those remixes take me.

[sophisticated_soul]

And John, please don't forget to remind everyone that the week after next, I'll be stylin', profilin', vogueing, and offering a friendly smile and comfort. OK, yes, it's at Rikers Island. But hey, I go where I'm needed.

Etta did some time at Riker's because of a check cashing scheme she and Esther Phillips pulled in New York. The checks were on Etta's account so she did the time.

[lovechild]

Bah bah bah!

[Methuselah2]

i was able to get home a little early tonight so i rushed home to turn the show on to BE NEAR YOU all :) Sounds like a super show going on JP ...

Lovechild--always meant to be!
Hi there Tony. Jim, too.

[midnight johnny]

Thanks John for Brenda Russell. I love everything on the album that contained Way Back When, especially this track and So Good and If Only For One Night.

My pleasure, Jim!!!

[Methuselah2]

That little lamb sure gets around, don't he?!

[lovechild]

Bah bah bah!

[Glenpwood]

In all seriousness I do love this cut even if its an unfinished lyric...

[midnight johnny]

How about my "special effects" version of "Stoned Love'...it's SO disrespectful......

[MotownLover]

John -

Thank you! Thank you! It's BEAUTIFUL, as I cry at my end...

Howard in Long Beach, CA

[Glenpwood]

How about my "special effects" version of "Stoned Love'...it's SO disrespectful......

But so RIGHT at the same time......:)

[lovechild]

Cool I love this track from WGO! thanks

[Methuselah2]

Etta did some time at Riker's because of a check cashing scheme she and Esther Phillips pulled in New York. The checks were on Etta's account so she did the time.

Didn't know that. It's all very Susan Hayward in I WANT TO LIVE! Sort of. "Top o' the world, Ma!" -- James Cagney in WHITE HEAT

[midnight johnny]

John -

Thank you! Thank you! It's BEAUTIFUL, as I cry at my end...

Howard in Long Beach, CA


I'm so glad I could play it for you, Howard.....

[Methuselah2]

RUN RUN RUN
Yes! Yes! Yes!

And that reminds me--gotta buy some new nylons!

[sophisticated_soul]

Didn't know that. It's all very Susan Hayward in I WANT TO LIVE! Sort of. "Top o' the world, Ma!" -- James Cagney in WHITE HEAT

It's all [[literally) in Etta's autobio "Rage to Survive". She doesn't hold any punches, throws quite a few, a lot at herself. An excellent read. Not for the faint hearted.

[sophisticated_soul]

Nothing But Heartaches! Fantastic John! This version definitely would have made it to #1.

[Methuselah2]

RUN RUN RUN
Yes! Yes! Yes!

And that reminds me--gotta buy some new nylons!

Or was it Imodium AD? Oh, I'm so confused.

[JimBagley]

Avon calling!

[Methuselah2]

Toenail fungus? Sophisticated, you're killin' me!

[lovechild]

Mooo Moooo...

[sophisticated_soul]

I just spit hot tea all over myself, laughing so hard!

[midnight johnny]

I just spit hot tea all over myself, laughing so hard!

Whoopseeeeeeeeeee!!! I love the 20th Century Fox theme!!

[carole cucumber]

After that ahem...... unique version of Stone[[d) Love, do you have any extended Lewis Sisters?

[MotownLover]

Lovely Brenda! One of my favorite Motown tunes of all time. It should have been a HUGE hit on the charts back in 1967, IMHO. Love it!!!

Howard in Long Beach, CA

[JimBagley]

The Lewis Sisters: it is hard to top perfection.

[sophisticated_soul]

Toenail fungus? Sophisticated, you're killin' me!

I used to refer to them as The Captain & Toenail. I do admit though I love "Muskrat Love".:rolleyes:

[Glenpwood]

Now now... Careful... I am a sucker for some Captain and Toenail... I mean Tennille :p

[sophisticated_soul]

I keep expecting this to go into a Nighflight promo!:D

[sophisticated_soul]

Now now... Careful... I am a sucker for some Captain and Toenail... I mean Tennille :p

My bad.;)___

[midnight johnny]

Jim and Carole,

I am aware of it's existence- but I've never seen a copy or heard it.

[JimBagley]

Your Composer is far superior to the original.

[JimBagley]

John,
Thank you for a great show. Have a great week everyone. And see you next week Joseph for your evening with Etta James.

Jim

[sophisticated_soul]

Your Composer is far superior to the original.

I told MJ the very same thing. Composer was never one of my favorite Supremes efforts, until I heard MJs version. Great minds think alike.:)

[MotownSteve]

I am aware of it's existence- but I've never seen a copy or heard it.

I have it and it is nothing like their Motown stuff.

[midnight johnny]

Thank you, Jim...very much!!

[sophisticated_soul]

John,
Thank you for a great show. Have a great week everyone. And see you next week Joseph for your evening with Etta James.

Thanks Jim, glad you will be there!:cool:

[midnight johnny]

Good Night everyone,

Great song to end with.

[carole cucumber]

I have it and I've heard it.

And your opinion of it? Is it worth seeking out?

[sophisticated_soul]

What a lovely evening of camaraderie! This is the forum at it's best. Thank you everybody and Thank You John for leading the way. Hope to see you all next week.:cool:

[lovechild]

thanks for an awesome redo remixed show John! hope to see everyone next week...

[MotownSteve]

And your opinion of it? Is it worth seeking out?
If like the so-called American Song Book and jazz, probably. I'd suggest seeing if any of it is on youtube and going from there.

[Methuselah2]

"Like golden vinyl on the turntable of life, so are the
REMIXES OF OUR HOST."

Wonderful show, John.

Nighty night, ol' gang of mine.

Thanks, I'll have to try.

[R. Mark Desjardins]

This was a wonderful three hours, and it helped lift me from the funk of being struck down with a flu bug for 10 days and counting. So glad you didn't have the sheep chorus version of your Supremes Bah-Bah-Bah remix. The only mention I want to hear of sheep, is "pass the lamb chops." LOL! And to add the cherry on top, the Jean Terrell led Supremes "Up The Ladder To The Roof" new mix was an inspired way to end the evening. Now, I can say "Good Night!"
