A Sense of Doubt blog post #2862 - SoD Reprint - Funky Christmas from #2498 - December 20th 2021

I felt that this post deserved a reprint, maybe even annually.

I played this mix all through end of the quarter conferences.

"Hey Santa, GO STRAIGHT TO THE GHETTO" as James Brown tells you in the first of these great soul, funk, R&B tracks for Christmas.

I added a few new images before the reprint.

Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!

Thanks for tuning in.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2498 - A Soulful Christmas - Musical Monday for 2112.20





A Sense of Doubt blog post #2498 - A Soulful Christmas - Musical Monday for 2112.20

Welcome to the soul, R&B, funk, and assorted African-American-centric Musical Monday Christmas music post.

I had quite forgotten that last year I shared some of the tunes in today's mix on Christmas Day:

Hey, Mom! Talking to My Mother #1219 (SoD #2138) - CHRISTMAS 2020

I shared a mix from the great site called THE ROOT, which everyone should follow.

This post is a bit light, just the mix link and player, track list, and some images.

In my mix, which expands the Root's mix, I added some NON funk and soul stuff just for seasoning. :-)

OH!! But it also includes an edit to the 2018 mix. A "remix." So that's cool.

ENJOY!! And put the FUN in the ley of FUNK this Christmas.

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
