So, many of you have heard me blather on about my records room. I do love it, but there’s one records room that I’d rather be in just about any time of day — my good friend Jon’s. Many of you have also heard me talk incessantly about his records room, and now you can see why.

And, drum roll, please …

Interestingly, Jon tells me he’s about ready to slow down on record purchases. Still, “slow down” for Jon is equal to a pace about twice as frantic as me.

I visited him two days ago, and within the first hour I had recorded a mix after scanning just the few hundred records he had hanging around the stereo. The mix included former Action frontman Reg King, a Peruvian beat band called New Juggler Sound, the Kashmere Stage Band, The Delfonics, the Langley Schools Music Project, Curtis Mayfield, Francoise Hardy, Detroit soul-funk rockers Mer-da, and Peruvian hard rock band Tarkus.
