That quote stuck with me, and I appreciate it. Scholar was one of the first cats who put me on positive blast, saying something like: 'I don't give many links to blogs that are less than a month old, but this one has potential'. When I first started writing, other than Funky 16 Corners and Soul Sides, I didn't really know many other bloggers. I'm sure at some point if I have to have an expensive piece, I will cross that bridge when I get there. I can say, I've never paid more than $20 for a 45, and I'm ok with that. I don't pay a lot of money for records, for me it's all about the thrill of the chase. When everyone else is going to bed at 5:30 am, I'm getting up to go to the spot. I've been digging seriously since the mid 90's, mostly at flea markets and yard sales. I finally got serious in March and started documenting my obsession with vinyl. I'm the new kid on the block in this blogosphere. High regards and eternal gratitude, Pres.

I sincerely can't stop listening to this mix he created for us, and I'm confident that you'll find it every bit as addictive. Pres has not only mastered the fine art of mixing, but he also gets mad props from me for being a crate digger extraordinaire. DJ Prestige runs an amazing spot called Flea Market Funk that has proven to be a utopian goldmine for funk and soul enthusiasts worldwide. The man of the hour is certainly no exception.

When I first decided to run the guest series, I made a vow to myself and the soul children that I would only extend an invitation to the truly worthy-people who I personally respect and greatly admire.
