Para Todos Meus Amigos Em Torno do Mundo
The records are not yet on the shelves, not yet touched by the mild boredom of order. I cannot march up and down their ranks to pass them in review before a friendly audience. You need not fear any of that. Instead, I must ask you to join me in the disorder of vinyl crates that have been wrenched open, the air saturated with the dust of wood, the floor covered with torn open cardboard mailers, to join me among piles of LP's and 7" singles that are seeing daylight again after what might be many years of darkness, so that you may be ready to share with me a bit of the mood - it is certainly not an elegiac mood but, rather, one of anticipation - which these records arouse in a genuine Groove Collector. (adapted from Walter Benjamin's essay on collecting)

Hi K G
Good to see your also a fan of Miss
Mcilwaine.
What a voice & guitarist-do you like
other folk funk people?
I just acquired her self titled LP
for just 2 really mellow soul tracks "We Got Each Other" & "Lovers Lane."
Completely different to Jimmy Jean
& her other more well known tracks
but equally as good.
Worth checking out if you don't know already.

i don't know why this woman never got her due, she's brilliant, hard to find her old stuff though.
I'm going to see her live in 2 weeks, I should ask her if she has any stashes of her old records in a box in the basement somewhere
Wow!!
Great post and you are the lucky one. Give her my regards and ask her to drop by the Library and post a comment.
All the best and Happy New Year
