This Saturday Oct 23rd from 1-7pm , the DJs from the Thursday night Dusties Party on WHPK and Peabody Records will have a Soul Reunion. Chicago Soul artists such as Ruby Andrews Lester, Jan Bradley, Marvin Smith [[formerly of the Artistics) and JoAnn Garrett will be in attendance. Plus,we will be spinning soul music from the 60s and 70s,and we will have free food and possibly free CDs to give away.

If you remember the event with put together over the summer,this will be even better. :) [[despite the fact that it's suppose to rain on Saturday, come on out and have some fun)

I hope to see some of the SDF members from Chicago at this event. :)
Mr.Peabody Records is located at 11832 S. Western

http://mrpeabodyrecords.com/vinyl-records [[scroll down to the bottom of the page and go to the BlogSpot/Mixes. Go to the Blog Archive,and go to the month of July,and read the blog and check out the photos from the summer event )


Thanks,and I hope to have some photos to post here on the forum later. :)

C'mon Chris, GT will be there probably before the doors open until closing........the one back in the summer was a riot, except for a overzealous "soul wannabe" who shall remain nameless who felt he was being snubbed, so he took his records among other things and went home......good thing too because he was about to be introduced to a good ol fashioned Chi-Town smackdown......seriously though I hope to see you there, I'm sure GT has some surprises up his sleeve and so do I.....but you already knew that didn't you ?

Put your drum kit down and come on out.......on this day the only thing you'll have to beat is the street.....

Heres a direct link.....see anyone you know ?

What a day ! My mind is still blown from a SDF member,that came all the way from NYC to party with us "Chicago folks. :)
Thank you Dyvanaye and your daughter ! :D [[what a suprise !)

We had a great time this afternoon,and more people showed up than last time.

Paladin, Cat, and Chi drummer from SDF, came out,as well as other folks wanting to hear some great music.

I'm sure photos and more reviews will be posted later.

I want to thank everyone for coming out, and I hope you had a great time. :)

Thanks so much !

This party was so much fun! Sights, sounds, our special guest visitors [[Dyva Naye & daughter), a "floor show" [[or two), great music, great people, and a big room full of fantastic vinyl...It was WONDERFUL! More details to come...;)

Take your time,because I know you have plenty of photos to chose from. We did get a break from the weather, [[THANK GOD ! ) and I agree with you in the meaning of a true "Native New Yorker." :D [[ my mind is still blown ! ) :cool::D

I'm glad most of the people were able to come out and have a good time.

As it was mentioned yesterday,we will try and do this on a quarterly basis. [[I'll keep you posted)

Definitely worth going "down south" for if just to meet the fabulous dyvanaye alone:cool:

The music was too cool and so was the company. I'll have to go back because I forgot to pick up the Eddie Harris LP I had tucked away behind the counter.

That Native New Yorker gets to keep her South Side pass. Come back soon D.

Hey, Chi Drummer, it's ALWAYS worth it to go "down south" here in Chicago for a visit...We know how to have a good time, too...LOL I am still gathering my thoughts, as well, given that this was INDEED an experience - not just a party :) Did not have time to provide commentary today, but I'll be back soon...

As tired as I am from the drive, people on the job said 'you look like you had a good time'...and I did...:) You all check your FB e-mail on the Wikipedia info I found on Mr Alphonse...lol...

Thanks for the compliment K Dub - although you made me eat all of that food and now my trainer said he will cause me pain for what I reported on my menu...lol...
But if you need to know Chicago - KDUB is your man...just dont wake him up too early or make it close to a football game...lol...But thank you again and again...you know my Daughter thinks you are hilarious ....and still rolling on the Prince story...LOL! We laugh so hard at that we had to pull the car over to catch our breath...

Ladies, any event you go to out there...WEAR PANTS! LOL. I learned...lololol...[[can you say Marilyn Monroe, but I caught it at the thigh? EMBARRASSMENT!!!!)

I love Debra's - [['CAT-WOMAN) spirit...and we have CATS in common too! A warm and funny person...:) She got that old school never dies demeanor...much like myself...:) Girl, get the Alphonse report together...lol...blow him up! LOL!!!!

Rob Thompson - 'CHALLANGE'!!! A funny and insightful Brother who came out to greet me as well...I thank you again.

Chi Drummer - Nice to meet you! What albums did you pick up? I bought out a good portion of the middle section... I did not see what you had...
KDUb Officially 'popped my Chi-Town Collar' and made me a member of the Chi-town Southland Mafia...lol...


MOE - Ive been to Chicago before - Girl, I am the traveling kind! This is no-where near my first time out of NYC, if that's what you meant - only to meet this clique this time...:)


Gary - too bad I didnt get to meet Mario, or Tony Johnson...but the visit was certainly worth the surprise and grin on your face! So glad to have met you after all this time... Next time I will stay longer and got to get my step on! I bought those Step videos from the store and will practice...but I wont be free-styling like the black and white pin stripe suit dude...lol...I had fun and thanks again for receiving us... :) Its you all's turn to come to NY soon...Im working on 'that' which I suggested...:)

@ Dyvanaye: I made you eat the food Huh ? Ok...........Thats cool I ain't gonna tell the real story about your first night in town, oh no not me, ain't even going to mention that great and humongous platter sized meal you had at The Champs Americana Grill........ after I had to surveil the mall and found you and your baby girl at the Boom-in-dales Concourse......not me I'll never, ever, never tell...... and you don't tell how "Stella is bad to the bone"and I won't tell about you trying to cross Western Ave in a dress with the wind blowing at 35 miles an hour and you calling a brother to help you get back to the set......dam I'm beginning to sound like Alicia Keys......

@ Ric: look brother man, Ruby can walk, dance, slide or trip over anything she wants to, she is a reigning Diva of Chitown and a Mafia Princess so chill brother before I have to send you to my therapist.......lol....you may have seen him on television, one of his favorite sayings is " You Jack-wagon !!!!" Would you like to have some tissue ?


Dyva on the real side thank you for coming into our city and sharing some love with us while we did our musical thing. As I think back on the experience it was much more than the music, it was the mutual respect and friendship that we have maintained over all these years. You have raised your daughter well, she knows as much about this music as any of us here. You know I peeped her hole card at Peabody's. You are as proud of her as I am of my young men. Next time we'll do it a little better.

@ SDF, We were like little kids in a clubhouse, except we had several speakers, turntables and all the records we could ever want to play, food and beverages galore and each other. GT, Rob, Cat, Chi, Ric, Ruby & everyone: Once again thanks for sharing the love.

I haven't had this much fun since Ralph & Russ were here and hell, he's had his hip replaced since then. :cool::cool::cool::cool:

I spoke to Tyrone Davis's widow yesterday and told her I was bringing her a picture of her nephew.........oh yeah.......

dam almost forgot Ralph knows about Stella !

Alright ! :) Paladin, photo identification time. The gentleman on the left with the other three guys in the photo, I can't remember his first name,but his last name is Bailey,and he's a vocalist for a group called Masterkey. His cousin is a jazz DJ at ' HPK named Lee Bailey. That's about the best I can tell you. As I've stated many time, [[lol) some of the other folks that were there,I didn't know [[I don't !) :rolleyes:

Hi Ladyvanaye :) [[waving back)

We really had a great time on Saturday at Peabody's,as you can see. :) Our next event will be in the winter of 2011. Hopefully is will not be "too cold" and a lot of snow on the ground. I don't expect anyone coming out of town for that event. [[you might want to wait for the Spring 2011 event,when the weather is warmer)

It's a shame no one didn't get a picture of the look on my face when Ladyvanaye came inside the doors of Peabody's. That photo would have been priceless :) I'm still thinking about when you walked into the door. :) I have to admit,Paladin,Cat and Rob did a excellent job for keeping things under wrap from me. I never in a million years would have figured Ladyvanaye and daughter,would have traveled from NY to Chi-town for a weekend and for this event at Peabody's. [[That really made my day !) :D :D :D :D

I hate that Mario and Tony wasn't able to make it,but they will know how everything turned out on Thursday afternoon. :) [[as well as my "how much is too much" moment) ;)

Ric, I'm glad you made it on board SDF,and welcome ! :)

The photo with Ruby and I. If memory serves correct, somebody said something funny,and that's why I looked the way that I did in the photo. :)

I'll save my thoughts about Alphonse [[Smokey wannabe) later ....... [[I'm waiting for someone else else to kick it off )

DON'T BE SCURRED !!!!!! :p More tomorrow ..... :cool:

paladin
10-26-2010, 08:34 PM
Sure somebody said something funny....right.......looks more like you had a Barry White move on your mind...........

Yes I remember "Masterkey"...thanks bro.............

He's listed on Wikipedia ......everybody got issues......including me....what happened to the dam record ?

Oh snap, welcome Bro Ric, I apologize but you know Diva's come first............

Alright, now back to the game.....

catwoman55
10-26-2010, 08:37 PM
Still LMAO, reading the commentaries from Saturday's proceedings, and remembering the various scenes from the party [[and the after-party...)! I hope that the SDF community can see how special this event was. On the serious side, I am so very glad that I came :) Of course, some folks showed up and showed OUT, but that's another story...hee... We did not lack live entertainment. Speaking of one individual who chose to do just that [[and getting back to), "AlphonseSingsSmokey", "Former Lead of the Motown Miracles", here's his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/alphonsesingssmokey, if y'all are interested. Could someone tell me something? Is it OK to have the Motown logo splashed all over a website or on one's media kit? Do you have to have permission to do it?

10-26-2010, 09:03 PM
No Barry White move on my mind,bro. [[lol) :)

All I'm going to say is this, Smokey and the Miracles recorded on Tamla, [[NOT MOTOWN !) case closed ! :p

[[and he was only in the group for 5 MONTHS !!!!!) 5 MONTHS


continue ........ :)

paladin
10-26-2010, 10:36 PM
@ Tsull, I had the shirt made a couple of years ago. I have a similar shirt with the Dramatics that was posted on the old forum, in fact I wore it to a show featuring Betty Lavette...lol.....

@Tsull, if you ever get this way let us know....... you may have need of credentials or friends of friends..........

GT, Dam bro remember I took the picture......

Wow what a weekend.............we finished it off [[after the Bears Game) at a local Hyde Park Restaurant called

Thanks Paladin. I'd love to hit Chicago and some soul concerts in the Windy City. Nice shirt, I might have to look at how to get my album covers screened. That Tempts shirt is awesome. I've always wanted to get the "Backstabbers" cover on a t-shirt.

The month of February is almost over,but I just want to remind the folks in Chicago [[and the lurkers too :) ) that our Soul Reunion event at Peabody Records is still scheduled for Saturday April 23rd from 12 noon 'til closing. [[whatever time that will be)

I can't say who will show up this time,but it;s going to be better than our last event! :D

For those that might be traveling to Chicago during that time, come out and have a great time with us. It's FREE ! :cool: We will be spinning some great classic soul music and we will have free food.

HOLY HELL!!!!!

GeeTee, how in the world did I miss this thread?!?!?!?

GeeTee, Paladin, Cat, and Chi Drummer in the house & even Ms. La Dyva made a roadtrip & do I detect the cover of The Mary Jane Girls!!!

Ruby Andrews...I like Ms. Ruby & she can sing 'I Guess That Don't Make Me A Loser' any old day of the week!!!

AHHHHH...brother Alphonso... I met him at Levi's funeral and...I'll leave it at that :)

AHHHHH...the smell of vinyl everywhere...I believe that I'm tearing up...Tito...get the tissue...Dyva...stop laughing :p

I see that we have a Malletizer in training in cahoots with Cat...HMMMM...Same ol' DyvaNaye!

And the beginnings of a new music group...Paladin & The Artistic!

AHHHH...Alphonso redux...perhaps it's best that you let what happened in Chi-town STAY IN CHI-TOWN. Ironically, I was just speaking about im the other day & just remember... the words of a great man...CAIN'T NOBODY SANG BETTA DEN EDDIE KINNNNG JR.

Better recognize da skills & you know this MANNNN!!! You oughta know what I mean ;)

You guys look as though you had a ball & the next time that I get to Chi-Town, I hope that it's for more than a day!

I know that I was away from the forum for awhile, but OCTOBER & I'm just seeing this now?!!!

Great stuff, it's really nice to see you guys having a ball!

Great shots Kdub & damn...I'm jealous. You guys have all of the fun...Juice...Juice ain't got nuthin' :[[

Tito..I SAID get me the tissue...Dyva, still stop laughing [[sniff, sniff)

Mark,
You are welcome to come along ! :D It's all about having a great time,with great people!

Juice,
I know you were away from the forum,when this event took place. Like most threads,it was buried and I had to scroll and find it,instead of posting a entire new thread about the event.

In regards to Alphonse .....:rolleyes:

Anyway, :) we had a nice time,and I strongly believe we're going to have a even better time in April.

Dyvanaye and her daughter came out,which was a huge surprise for yours truly :D
A few of my friends on the forum knew about her coming,and did a great job of keeping their mouth's shut about her coming. lol :)

The owners at Peabody Records [[Mark and Mike) are some real nice people,and we thank them for allowing us to use their store to do such a event like this. You would have a field day just looking at the vinyl. [[ bring some cash or your plastic,because you will end up buying something. Trust me !) :)

We're trying to keep the music alive, partying with some great people,and giving respect to the artists that are still around. Just think, we started this event over a year ago with zero attendance,to what you see from the photos of October of last year.

If anyone on the forum is a member of Facebook, I will post a event notification the last week of March. [[it will be on our Facebook Dusties Party page)

We're looking for anyone,and everyone to come on out !

and arr&bee, you should try to come on out and meet the lady that you adore. :p
