We may not be able to go anywhere this week
​but we are keeping our feet moving!  
A long-time fan of hip hop, Tony donned his DJ cap and went to work in the style of late 80's hip hop.  We hope you enjoy!  Squirrel and Bird certainly got down.

Sample List:
Taj Mahal -- Good Morning Little School Girl - from the album Giant Step, 1969, Columbia Records
Taj Mahal -- Country Blues, Cluck Old Men and Light Rain Blues - from the album De Ole Folks at Home, 1969, Columbia Records
Archie Shepp -- Dem Basses; from the album Mama Too Tight, 1966, MCA Records

Instrumentation:
Dr. Sample SP 303
Numark Direct Drive Turntable
Pioneer Scratch Mixer
Electric bass -- Tony Leva

*Used without permission but with the utmost respect, admiration and appreciation of Taj Mahal and Archie Shepp and everyone else who played on these records.*
