"If the house is to be set in order, one cannot begin with the present; he must begin with the past."

The Soul Donkey is an appreciator of the many forms that soulful
music can take and is often shocked at just how big this thing we
call house really is. This week we explore the underground in a
very different way using some traditional club classics interspersed
with some of the tracks that his parents got locked into over the years
so you, the listener, can better understand and (hopefully) appreciate
the path that has brought us all here together.
Spring is coming -- be of good cheer for the sun will shine on us all!
Love and happiness,
Rodney Marable a.k.a. The Soul Donkey
