"Nightflight" Tue Sept 28, 9P-12M ET: How can I top Harry Weinger's Show?

[midnight johnny]

Attachment 1360

Howdy, Pardners. After a show like last week, where not only Harry Weinger appeared,
but where Harry shared some of the yet to be released Tammi Terrell tracks from the forthcoming "Come On and See Me...The Tammi Terrell Solo Collection"...what can I do to top THAT?!?
Nothing! I CAN'T top that! No way..no how...nyet!!

But what I CAN do is maybe share some new remixes with you. I create extended versions of much-too-short 60s and 70s classics...INCLUDING Motown...using actual backing tracks when possible, or creating a backing track from the original song.

It ain't Tammi and Harry, but I do it with love for the music and respect for the original. So I hope you join me tonight for an evening of remixes....on "Nightflight"... on WOMR 92.1 FM Provincetown/91.3 FM Orleans and streaming live worldwide in digital stereo at www.womr.org
Thanks!
John

I wouldn't have had the energy for another Harry/Tammi show so soon! LOL!! However, I do have my calender marked for the next one on October 19th. I'll be rested up by then! See you tonight on the radio, amigo:-)

[jobeterob]

Just go on being you John and doing your show and know you are appreciated for the remixes and the shows. And another high will come shortly!

I was listening to your Valerie Simpson remix of Sinner Man again lately.

Joseph...I think the energy thing is what I was feeling too! That feeling of being spent...It was just like having terrific se....I mean....having a terrific seagoing adventure [[whew!). See you tonight on the radio too, paisan!

Rob...thanks! I appreciate it.

[JimBagley]

Looking forward to the show tonight.

[robbert]

I'll have to give it a miss.
I have to get up early tomorrow [[Dutch time)!

[midnight johnny]

Jim....great! Nice you'll be here!

[midnight johnny]

Robbert....I wish the show was in a closer time zone to you. I'd love to spend some time "in Dutch". I didn't mean that the way it sounded....I think...

Hi Midnight Johnny!

This is Desmond from California

[midnight johnny]

Desmond....welcome back! Nice to have you with our California contingent!

[sophisticated_soul]

That was an awesome remix! "You Keep Me Hangin' On [[And On)" LOL! Love it, John.

Hi John,
Relaxing and enjoying the show while trying to learn a photo editing program I got recently.

[JimBagley]

Nice blend of Sedaka and Skeeter.

[midnight johnny]

Well....thank you, Joseph......THAT'S the kind of feedback that I love! [[wink)

[JimBagley]

And one of my favorite Three Degrees' tunes sounding better than ever.

[midnight johnny]

Jim...you're right...I didn't even think of Sedaka!

[midnight johnny]

Thanks, Jim....such a gorgeous song! The way it was mixed didn't allow me to lengthen it to the 10 minutes I wanted to.

Hey, MotownSteve!!! Great to have you here!

[MotownSteve]

BTW, I live about 30 or 40 minutes from HW.

[midnight johnny]

I wonder how far away you are from the Motown vaults?

[sophisticated_soul]

Nothing like the early Supremes. Except maybe an early Supremes remix. Excellent! Thanks, John.

[midnight johnny]

Thank you, Joe......[[smile)

[MotownSteve]

Hey John,
Someone else from NJ: Lesley Gore

[sophisticated_soul]

"Timothy, Joe was looking at you. . ." LOL!

[midnight johnny]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....LOVE it!!!!

[JimBagley]

Timothy - that one certainly BUOYed my spirits.

[sophisticated_soul]

"Timothy" live! Cool! Isn't the song about two miners and their mule Timothy?

[midnight johnny]

Good one, Jim!!

[midnight johnny]

"Timothy" live! Cool! Isn't the song about two minors and their mule Timothy?

I've heard that too....but doesn't that take the romance out of it? [[hee hee)

[sophisticated_soul]

I've heard that too....but doesn't that take the romance out of it? [[hee hee)

It does a bit. But who knows what happen before they ate him! LOL!!!

[JimBagley]

I went to a Tennessee Williams presentation on Saturday night in P-Town.

[sophisticated_soul]

Funny that people eating people [[and/or mules) should bring up Tennessee Williams!

[JimBagley]

Yes indeed.

[MotownSteve]

Hi John,
I think Eddie Holland does it the best. Kim is a close second with the Isley Brothers right behind.
Motown Steve

[sophisticated_soul]

Yes indeed.

I knew you'd get that!:-)

[sophisticated_soul]

Kim Weston hands down. Everybody else's version pales. IMHO:-)

[midnight johnny]

Hi John,
I think Eddie Holland does it the best. Kim is a close second with the Isley Brothers right behind.
Motown Steve

But we MUST hear the Vandella's version with virtually the same backing track as Kim's. This backing track I occasionally play is from the Vandella's version

[MotownSteve]

Sophisticated_soul,
You won't get an argument with me on that. They are both great but there is something about Eddie's version I prefer.
That is what makes a horse race.
Motown Steve

[midnight johnny]

Please...no horse talk...not while I'm still hungry....

[MotownSteve]

Hey John,
What was that by the Mighty Clouds of Joy?
Thanks,

It's definitely preference. Because, basically I love the song. It's a great song. It's Kim's performance of the song that I like. Probably influenced by my preference for female vocalists, etc.:-)

[midnight johnny]

Actually....BJ Thomas doing "Mighty Clouds of Joy", MotownSteve.

[MotownSteve]

Oh, Thanks. But now I'm wondering who did a Foggy Day in London Town.
Thanks.

[MotownSteve]

Thanks. Now to do your show and Keith Olbermmann as the same time. LOL

[midnight johnny]

Thanks. Now to do your show and Keith Olbermmann as the same time. LOL

MotownSteve...Keith's show is so important...I will forgo your attention....

[sophisticated_soul]

Love it by Diana! Love it by Brenda. Again, just a great song. I would love to have heard Mary Wells' take on "Johnny".
