Yowsah Yowsah Yowsah

It's been a while since I've posted and I have in fact been on air.
My bad.

Date: 4th March 2012


Playlist

Nile Rodgers is coming to Adelaide.

I want your love - Chic
We are family - Sister Sledge
He's the greatest dancer - Sister Sledge

The Reflex - Duran Duran

Remember the Time - Michael Jackson


This is as close as I can remember it....
There was so much to say about Nile and his journey through life so far that I think I had to cut songs from the playlist.
But as I said at the time, one hour is hardly enough to even begin to cover his enormous amount of work.

Now that I'm reading his autobiography there is so much more that could be said.
About the book, about his life and about his music and about surviving cancer.

Book:  Le Freak: An Upside Down Story of Family, Disco, and Destiny by Nile Rodgers. 
It's not a boring read.


Nile's Blog is here.
