Boogie Friday
You've got to love someone who puts out albums called "A Real Mother for Ya" and "Funk Beyond the Call of Duty," Johnny 'Guitar" Watson started out as a mean blues guitarist in the 50s but in the 70s re-invented himself as a pimped-out gangster of funk with great success. This was a single from his 1976 album "Ain't That A Bitch" and is one freaky-deaky boogie machine with a groove that's so irresistable even my mother bought a copy when it came out. That must be where I get my funkalicious nature from.

Hi, I found your site listed in a Reuter's story here and raced here first because of your Spark's-song Blog title.
I was poking around your site looking for the Spark's connection and haven't found it yet <grin>. Not that I'm Spark's obsessed, but it would be fun if you had such diverse musical tastes. What's the story behind the name?
Keep up the excellent work!
I have another music site called Pop Heaven so I thought the Sparks title would make a good connection.
And I do like Sparks.
Oh bum! I like Johnny Guitar Watson too.
