Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

And speaking of "that song." One year a band I play with was doing a Christmas party and that song was on our playlist at the request of one of the women in the office that was throwing the party. She fancied herself a singer and we don't mind mixing things up a bit. We usually stick to the older stuff even for Christmas. "Run, Run, Rudolph," "Little Saint Nick," and that sort of stuff. Strictly Old School.
I used to feel the same dread hearing that song...until we played it that night. First-I play bass with this band and the bass line is a killer old school Motown groove like Jamerson would play, second-the woman from the office was a fantastic singer, a throaty, contralto with a seductive playfulness in her voice, and third-we were paid in food and alcohol and had certainly made out quite well on the deal by that point. Maybe it's because we were all pretty buzzed and swinging it nice and loose but it really is a good song, it really does sound like something Barry Gordy would have cooked up at Hitsville back in the 60s Mariah just doesn't have the voice for it.
Next time it comes on listen to the music and try ignore Mariah's voice. Maybe image Aretha or Ann Peebles singing it.

Ok, I get sick of the song, but you can't diss Mariah's voice! Maybe she doesn't sing it as you'd like, but come on, she's got like a 5 octave range. She's got some pipes!
 
Hi nebs! 🤗🤗😘😘 I’m a cold and grumpy bit, stupid work is making me crazy and I’m trying not to let it bother me when I’m not there. It’s making me miss a lot here booooo oh well it is what it is, just want it to be warmer a bit, my ginger butt is not built for cold
Fucking cold blows. It’s good to see you though! I hate when work gets in the way of Lit

You sir, clearly are cool! Because I followed all that, and love Jamerson and Bob Babbit both. 🥰🥰🥰🥰
