Today at the Stax Museum, a listening party was held for the new album from Wendy Rene, a Light in the Attic compilation that makes available for the first time all the recordings Wendy made for Stax in the early 1960’s, including some that had never been released. Wendy Rene was there to meet people and sign autographs, and great music was provided by a crew of Djs spinning rare soul, including DJ Daniel and Scott Bomar of the Bo-Keys. Also on hand were local rap stars Playa Fly and Cities Aviv, trumpeter Ben Cauley, Stax historian Deanie Parker and music journalist Andrea Lisle. Truly a great occasion to celebrate a great person and some great music!
Law and Order is a combination party and discussion group that was organized by some people I knew from Memphis State University when I was in college. First we fellowship around food and drink, then we discuss provocative questions that have been submitted by people within the group ahead of time. It’s so much fun that people actually drive from other cities to attend our monthly get-togethers.
