May 3rd is James Brown's birthday, so in celebration of the Godfather of Soul, I'm dedicating the first hour to him and music inspired by him. Also, this Thursday, May 3rd I'll be celebrating his birthday by partaking in the 6th annual Doin' It To Death, 30 hour James Brown marathon on KFJC. I'm on 6-10pm that night. Tune in.

The second hour tonight features week 4 of 8 of my Grateful Dead 40th anniversary celebration of Europe 72. Tonight I'm mostly featuring outtakes from the April 26, 1972 Hundred Year Hall show. Also, I've got a blistering China Cat Sunflower -> I Know You Rider from April 29th I want to share with you all.

Time to get funky and jam out.

Enjoy.
