Only about 10 days before this night, Matt Porter contacted me on Facebook to see if I was available that night. We hadn’t spoken ever, but we’d shared a bill or two back in 1998 when he was a musician living in Michigan. Nowadays he’s a deejay living in Georgia, specializing in soul and r&b jams. He was only in town for a few days.
UNFORTUNATELY my fickle digital recorder crapped out and nothing was recorded. Which is a real shame because Matt played some rare and awesome jams that night that I was looking forward to listening to again. The only recording that exists is with the owner of the night’s cassette tape. I may be asking that winner to borrow the tape so I can rip it and put up the mp3 for everyone. Stay tuned.
