Funky Sunday

Nashville, TN: There's something about Sundays that gets me in a funk. Maybe it's the waking up early to try to get to Mosaic for some inspiration (even though my pillow top bed begs me to stay in bed 5 more minutes)... maybe it's the non-fruitful searching of something to listen to after Says You is over... maybe it's reviewing the end of a week and scowling at the list of "to dos" I didn't accomplish -- again.

However, today's Sunday funk was given a new meaning when a dear friend played me his newest found musical treasure, "Stax Does The Beat les." I've always been a Beatles fan -- from my Mom teaching which one was which by their eyes only

to being inside of / photographing a recording at Abbey Road Studios.

And I've always loved the sounds of R&B... pretty much any music that can make me move without actually meaning to or even wanting to! So, hearing the sounds of some of my fav Beatles' songs interpreted by the grooves of a handful of ridiculous Stax Records' artists was just what I needed to turn my Sunday funk into a Funky Sunday.
