I told myself I would NOT skip this mandatory Monday and despite all attempts it would appear that I have failed once again. Not one to be deterred, however, I realize that it is still Monday to my beloved west-coasters and to my beloved west-coasters, I dedicate this post.

This weekend, Drizzle played me a collection of newly downloaded funk as I was washing the dishes. As soon as I heard the organs of this Seattle-based funk band blaring through our home speakers, I yelled to Drizzle over the music and the running hot water, “Send this to me!”

Although this west-coast funk never got far enough past Pacific Standard Time to even have a video of them posted on YouTube, it is relieving to know that good music can endure the isolation and silence of being “shelved” and get discovered once more to entertain new ears. Check out, “Bold Soul Sister, Bold Soul Brother” by Black On White Affair.
