...and a sweet, soulful Sunday to y’all...
Soulful Sunday, it is! For whatever reason, this was in my head, so I share it with you.
Walking the dog.
Good ol' Junior Walker. I'm moving very slowly today, so I might augment that with this:
It's very much an alternate universe 'Hammer Time'. (Dig those pants.)
I accidentally posted this in another thread. The original caption was, "Sometimes in Alaska good help is hard to find.."

That’s ‘pikahnik’ baskets to folk of a certain age...

Roadrunner reminded me of Toronto legend Prakash John.
He was on the road with Alice Cooper, Edgar Winter, Lou Reed and others as a young guy, but is best-known up here in the frozen North for The Lincolns, a long-lived Toronto club band that was a revolving home to dozens of Canadian studio and touring heavies.
Mr John used to run the lighting board with his feet, will laying down marvellously athletic grooves and singing note-perfect harmony vocals.
Born in 1947, he is still active with his son Jordan’s band.
Here’s an original studio cut:

I’ve been out of Toronto (and the club scene) for so long, I have no idea.
Per my edit above, he is still active with his son Jordan, so I wouldn’t be surprised.
I wish I could find some decent live footage of them from the late ‘70’s, when I was following them around. Electrifying...

Not to mention that Prakash John was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 as a member of Parliament/Funkadelic.

Canada boasts some Blues Monday artists too
Another Canadian band for Blues Monday.
Downchild Blues Band. Interesting story about a guest on the first track, Nanette Workman. She sang backup on Honky Tonk Women and other Stones songs, she also worked with John Lennon, Elton John, and others. BUT FORGET ABOUT THAT, SHE SANG A SONG ON THE BENNY HILL SHOW IN 1971.
