Hello record lovers. More of the good stuff on today’s show. I mean, I guess it wouldn’t be smart to just play the bad stuff now would it? Found out that ?uestlove’s father was a doo-wop singer. Also, able to debut some music from The Gants on today’s show. I had ordered a 45 of their single “I Wonder” a while ago and just recently remembered that I had done so and that it had already arrived. This means I most likely ordered it impulsively on my phone while lying in bed (because that’s a thing now) and gave it no further thought as I drifted off to sleep. My semi-conscious self made good use of his effort however. The record arrived in great condition and sounded great on the turntable. Here are some others that sounded just as good:
