Monday Night Vinyl Listen : Ace Frehley • Frehley’s Comet (1987) When Ace Frehley passed away this year, I was heartbroken.

Thursday Night Vinyl Listen : Led Zeppelin • Houses Of The Holy (1973) As a child, teenager and young adult of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, my ears were inundated with Led FUCKING Zeppelin.

Sunday Night Vinyl Listen : Mandré - Mandré Two (1979) If I could start another list about what I advice I could give the kids I will never have, but maybe just young and impressionable people in general, one of the things on that list would be:

Sunday Late Night Vinyl Listen :

Justin Timberlake • The 20/20 Experience 1 Of 2 (2013)

I really love this album because it has layers of Prince all in it, and it takes what I love about his sound and stretches it out a bit. 10/10 No Skips! Mirrors is my favorite jam on the record. 🥰

Saturday Night Vinyl Listen :

Various Artists • Chart Action ⚡️83⚡️ (1983)

Another hot addition to my K-Tel Records collection. I was ten years old in 1983. This album is a 10 out of 10, no skips. Damn, I love early Bryan Adams.

Sewing Saturday Vinyl Jams Part Two :

KISS • Rock And Roll Over (1976)

10/10 No Notes. RIP Ace Frehley.

Sewing Saturday Vinyl Soundtrack :

Paul Jabara • Paul Jabara And Friends (1983)

I love Paul Jabara and if you love disco, you should too. Also, his friends are The Weather Girls. Leata Galloway and WHITNEY HOUSTON.

Get into some soulful funk and disco jams!
