Hey Hey Hey,

I got my February treat for Ally Al, my partner for this month.

This one is...Under The Influences

You Caught Me Smiling - Sly & the Family Stone
Sparkle City - Shuggie Otis
Runnin' - Earth, Wind and Fire
Talking Me Down The Rebirth
What Goes Around - Lenny Kravit
Pusherman - Curtis Mayfield
Grown Folks - Raphael Saadiq
Heaven - Amp Fiddler
Heaven Must Be... - Ohio Players

What it do ya'll... Aiight, partner list has gone out. If you didn't receive any info on it, get @ me a.s.a.p. and I'll correct it.

This month, I think we'll see a few of the "older" trade members returning. "The more, the merrier." More people means more music to experience.

Also, I'm personally doin' a 'Love' mix this month. THIS IS NOT MANDATORY, but anyone who wants to xerox the idea, do it & make it hot! I'm also compiling a small contest to go along with the love theme. There will be a grand prize and everyone who at least plays the game will get a small prize, so there's virtually no way to loose, (unless of course you don't play game.) More to come on that...

Rock, rock on

Thank for the listing Buddah. No sweat at all. And KDP, yeah we did receive your X-mas. I thought I thank you for it -- I'm spacing out again, my bad. Also thanks for the email treat i'm pluggin that in my mp3 player right now.

Ally Al, looking forward to trading with you in February. Always sending out some crazy heat. DZL, I haven't gotten to my PO BOX today but will on Tuesday. Can't wait to get my hands on those Afro-beat goodies you sent.
