Forgotten Mixes: Groovy with a Side of Psych
I apologize for the radio silence during the past couple weeks, but the flu hit my body like a ton of bricks that didn't let up until the last couple days. I never get flu shots, because I rarely get the full-blown flu. This year, however, was a much different story. I came home from work last Tuesday, ate my dinner and settled into watching a little television. Around 8:00 pm, my legs started feeling weak, I was experiencing muscle and joint pain and the temperature of my body was fluctuating from hot to cold with the same unpredictability as daily weather patterns. I missed a couple days of work, and then proceeded to spend a three-day weekend resting, drinking so many fluids that I thought I was going to burst and binging Netflix while laying on my futon.
Thankfully, I think I'm on the other side of this, but it really did do a number on me. Over three years ago, I posted that I had multiple eclectic mixes that were completed and ready to post. I went back to my playlists in Windows Media Player, and was able to retrieve this gem that was originally conceived on 6-23-14. Today, I tightened up the order of the tracks, trimmed a little of the fat and listened to it multiple times to ensure the flow was just right to my ears.
I hope that you enjoy this mix, and would love to hear from any of you about what kind of music you are listening to right now, what you think of this mix or anything else that I have posted here on Eclectic Grooves.

You're welcome! It's great to hear from you, and I'm glad that you liked the mix. It's crazy how many projects have been shelved that finally come to fruition years later. In this case, it's only been three years since this mix first took shape. Nonetheless, I'm glad that it's out there for people to download and enjoy.
Hope you are doing well!

As far as my own current listening goes, I'm still heavily into that place in the early 1970s where Jazz met Rock - Soft Machine, Tony Williams' Lifetime, Nucleus, Gilgamesh and of course Miles Davis.
Vaughan: Welcome to the blog! Things have been pretty quiet in the comment section lately, so it's great to hear from someone that they are digging the blog/podcast. I appreciate the kind words, and sincerely hope that you keep coming back.
Best to both of you!
Kevin
