Leon McAuliff- I Aint Gonna Hurt No More

A little country rocker w/ some rockabilly tinges from 1961 on the Cimarron label out of Oaklahoma from Mr. Leon McAuliff.

Leon was a native of Houston, Texas. How could anyone forget Bob Wills when he'd call out on his recordings, "take it away, Leon...". A reknowned steel guitarist bar none. Take a listen to "Steel Guitar Rag". He was part of the Bob Wills sound for many years. Later on, he formed his own band. And was at one time recording on Cimarron records. He just about adopted Tulsa, Oklahoma as a home town from his many years there both with Bob Wills and his own band. Let's read about this famed steel guitarist and band leader.

He was held in such high regard by the folks in Tulsa, that the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce held a program dedicated to Leon, in the spring of 1952 or 1953.

Leon started his career off playing with W. Lee O'Daniels' Lightcrust Doughboys. Then he moved on to play with legendary Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. Bob Wills had a habit of saying "Take it away, Leon..." as part of the recordings and performances and it became one of those things that became part of hillbilly lore. He did about 50 recordings with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys while he was with them.

Then, in 1945, Leon organized his own band. Around mid-1953, it looks like their most recent release was "Sugar and Salt" that featured a vocal by Jimmy Hall. The flip side was a tune called "Panhandle Waltz", a steel guitar number featuring a solo by Leon.

Around mid-1953, he doing a daily show over the 50,000 watt KVOO in Tulsa from 12:15pm. He also appeared on Wednesday nights at 11:00pm as well as Saturday nights at 10:30pm on a show called the "Western Dance Parade".

Leon and his band also played for the dancers every Wednesday and Saturday evenings at the Cimmaron Ball Room in Tulsa as well as other personal appearances in the area.

Leon was married and had two kids, a daughter and son.

Luther Ingram - Puttin' Game Down

Pickens have been slim lately. I bought 2 records this weekend for $1.00.

As for Mr. Ingram:

Luther Ingram (November 30, 1937 — March 19, 2007) was an American R&B and soul singer and songwriter. His most successful record, "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right", reached no. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart and no. 3 on the Hot 100 in 1972.
Contents

Born Luther Thomas Ingram in Jackson, Tennessee, his early interest in music led to him making his first record in 1965 at the age of 28. His first three recordings failed to chart but that changed when he signed for KoKo Records in the late 1960s, and his first hit "My Honey And Me" peaked at #55 on the Hot 100 on 14 February 1970. Many of his songs appeared in the pop and R&B charts, even though Koko was only a small label, owned by his manager and record producer, Johnny Baylor. Koko and Baylor were closely associated with the Memphis based Stax Records label during the height of its commercial success.
Ingram is best known for the hit, "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right", written by Homer Banks, Carl Hampton and Raymond Jackson. The song reached number one on Billboard 's R&B chart and peaked at number three on that publication's Hot 100 chart in the summer of 1972. The track stayed in the Hot 100 for 18 weeks, ultimately selling a reported four million copies.[1] The song was later successfully covered by Millie Jackson and Barbara Mandrell; it has also been recorded by Bobby "Blue" Bland, Rod Stewart and Isaac Hayes.
Other popular tracks for Ingram included "Ain't That Loving You (For More Reasons Than One)", "Let's Steal Away To The Hideaway" and "I'll Be Your Shelter." He also co-authored "Respect Yourself", a million seller for the Staples Singers in 1971. The acetate demo version of Ingram's, "Exus Trek", became a sought after Northern soul track. With the Stax connections, Ingram recorded at the Memphis label's studios, as well as other southern-based studios such as Muscle Shoals. He was opening act for Isaac Hayes for some years, and often used Hayes' Movement band and female backing group for his 1970s recordings. He recorded into the 1980s, and whilst only managing lower R&B chart hits, he remained a popular stage draw.
Ingram died on March 19, 2007, at a Belleville, Illinois, hospital of heart failure. According to his wife Jacqui Ingram, he had suffered for years from diabetes, kidney disease and partial blindness.

Toussaint McCall - Nothing Takes The Place Of You & Thin, delicious animal meat

Thin, delicious animal meat, mutton, not to mention veal, from the foundation of all good a pot of soup; it is therefore far better to procure those people fragments which will give the most wealthy succulence, and such just like fresh-killed. Stagnant the meat selections makes these lousy, as well as excessive fat shouldn't be so well modified for developing it. The main art form inside authoring fine loaded broth, is actually in order to the proportion the several elements that the flavors of one would certainly not most important throughout one additional, understanding that all of the posts of which it happens to be penned, can develop a powerful agreeable totally. To accomplish this, therapy will have to be obtained that the root base and also herbs really are flawlessly most certainly wiped clean, which the stream is undoubtedly proportioned with the range of animal products and also other constituents. In most cases a new quart of water may very well be capable of a pound for steak just for sauces, not to mention fifty percent the total amount regarding gravies. With regard to making soups or perhaps gravies, gentle simmering and also slowly building up is normally incomparably the right. Perhaps it is remarked, but, that a truly great broth can't ever be manufactured however in a new well-closed charter yacht, although, it could be that, more wholesomeness is usually gotten from an infrequent contact with oxygen. A pot of soup definitely will, typically, originate from 3 to 5 numerous hours accomplishing, consequently they are improved completely ready the previous day they've been sought. As soon as the soup is cold, it may perhaps be extra comfortably together with utterly eradicated; so when it's always mixed away, care and attention must be applied to not interrupt the actual settlings in the bottom for the charter boat, which can be which means okay that they need to break free of using a sieve. Your tamis is the better strainer, if the particular soup is usually tv every once in awhile warm, allowed the tamis and pads come to be formerly steeped found in cool normal water. Crystal clear a pot of soup should be totally clear, in addition to thickened sauces regarding the consistence about remedy. To thicken while giving entire body to sauces and gravies, potato-mucilage, arrow-root, bread-raspings, isinglass, flour and then butter, barley, hemp, or even oat meal, inside a little fluids rubbed properly jointly, are widely-used. A joint of boiled beef pounded towards pulp, with a chunk of butter and also flour, and then rubbed via the sieve, and then over time added with any soup, can be came across a good component. In case the soups seems to be too thinner or too weakened , the cover from the central heating boiler need to be flourished, and also information allowed to heat right until a portion of the watery components get evaporated; and even a few of the thickening materials, previously discussed, could be put in. Any time a pot of soup plus gravies seem to be held from day to day with summer, they will be heated up on daily basis, make towards recent scalded pots and pans or tureens, plus positiioned in an awesome basement. For temperate weather conditions, alternate day could very well be acceptable.

Chaino & His African Percussion Safari - The Jungle Chase - Jungle Drums Variations

Leon "Chaino" Johnson (1927 – July 8, 1999), the self-styled "percussion genius of Africa," was an American bongo player. After touring for several years on the Chitlin' Circuit, he released several albums and became popular with listeners of exotica music in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In the promotion of his albums, a fictional biography was developed, depicting Chaino as an orphan from a lost tribe in central Africa who had been rescued by a missionary after his tribe had been massacred. Chaino was actually born in Philadelphia and raised in Chicago....

I was very happy to find this rare japanese 45 in the wild @ a flea market, amongst a pile of trashed turd 45's.... something that doesn't happen everyday in the swamps of south Jersey....

The Sharps - Have Love Will Travel - Look At Me!

HAVE LOVE, WILL TRAVEL - LOOK AT ME! - THE SHARPS
Written by Lee Hazlewood
Produced by Lester Sill and Lee Hazlewood (1958)
Jamie Records - Philadelphia PA

A take-off on the TV Western show starring Palladin called Have Gun Will Travel. The guitar is unmistakingly Duane Eddy.
Among the vital and distinctive elements that made such Duane Eddy classics as
`Rebel-'Rouser' so memorable were the "rebel yells" overdubbed in Hollywood by
the Sharps, one of the most enduring R&B vocal groups of their time. Managed by
Hazlewood's partner Lester Sill and formerly known as the Lamplighters, the
group consisted of lead vocalist Carl White, Al Frazier, Sonny Harris and Rocky
Wilson. They first met Duane in 1958 when he was promoting `Moovin' N' Groovin''
and they were working off their recent Top 10 hit `Little Bitty Pretty One'. The
guys took the shy young guitarist under their wing, introducing him to the LA
musicians that would comprise his early road group. A month after
`Rebel-'Rouser' was taped, Eddy repaid the favor by contributing his
distinctive twang to the Sharps' `Have Love, Will Travel'. In 1962 Carl White
and his cohorts changed their name to the Rivingtons, introducing the world to
`Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow' and other crazed delights.
