My Jams ’83
My day one peeps will remember this series from a few years back where I share my life story via my favorite songs.
Recently, I did an audio series based on these posts called “Rambling Musical Commentary.” Lately, I’ve noticed, based on the analytics, that these posts have a pretty large viewing; therefore, I will be picking that series back up starting with 1980 on Sunday, April 18th.
So, stay tuned and check out other “My Jams” and “Rambling Musical Commentary” posts by going to the right panel and clicking on those titles in categories.
Meanwhile, enjoy a reblog of My Jams 1983!Be forewarned!
There be Adult language afoot! LOL!
Hey, it’s good to see you! Boy have I got a lot to catch you up on! I’m so sorry that I haven’t been keeping you posted on all the things that’s been going on. Can you believe that we’re almost at the end of 1983 and I haven’t really told you anything new?
Well, I guess I better do like Lewis Carroll said, “Start at the beginning, keep going and when you come to the end, stop.”
So let’s start at the beginning.
Do you remember my Uncle Willie? You know the one who lives in Chicago? Well he died back in March. Nobody saw it coming because he was kinda young. They say he was sick with pneumonia, then he just had a heart attack–out of nowhere– and died.
We didn’t see him much but I do remember the time me and my cousins were jumping on the…

A Nice Chill Jam
Now, I know y’all might be tired of “chillin,” but, hell, we really ain’t got no choice!
In other words, sit down and continue to STAY yo’ ass HOME!
Now…
In an effort to facilitate that dictate, I have decided to give you a little something to groove to whilst you chillax!
But before I do that, let me digress a little…
Friends, I am getting an urge to start blogging about music again.
I guess the nudge came after I was reading back over “My Jams,” which was a series that I posted on this blog in order to chronicle my favorite R&B songs for a span of about 30 years.
You can find those under the category “My Jams.”
Uh, but to be honest, I’m not really sure how the next series is going to look.
Should I pick up where I left off with that series?
Any thoughts?
I’m just muddling it over.
Meanwhile, getting back to my original plan…
Allow me to put something smooth on your mind.
Take a listen to this chill-ass old jam right here! It’s called “She’s My Main Squeeze” by Gene Page.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the strings. I am going to try to embed the video, but on the off chance that you have any playback issues, you can link to it here.

Enjoy,
LadyG loves YOU!
***Many thanks to those who are working hard to look after our needs. The least we can do is make it easier on them by staying home.
RIP to those who have transitioned and may God continue to bless those who have recovered.
