Radio Mecha - Music Box: 200 It's my 200th post, and here I am on the Radio Mecha. I'm making it up as I go along, but figure there'll be some soul, some breaks, and some other stuff. Please listen, if you're so inclined.

Great stuff. Thanks!

Agreed, good stuff. I've heard a few tunes that I only from the clips that were referenced or sampled in newer tunes. I love hearing the originals, and hearing what inspired others.

I always miss the good stuff. Ok, mostly. I was out drinkin' and listening to roots/rock/blues and talking to strangers, otherwise I'd'a toooned in.
