Nice. You got me googling--did not realize how many folks McKinley Jackson worked with.

I believe there are some stories of HDH humming snatches of melodies into restaurant phones with him at the other end then hanging up and receiving the orchestration the next morning.

Peter Case is in town and I heard a rumor a mutual friend might try to bring him by Botanica after his gig.

Does Botanica still exist?

Last time I checked it did, which was about an hour and a half ago, while I was standing there in a big crowd of people including a best-selling author we went to college with, but I can text Mr. Wine for an update if you'd like.

Sorry, that was the snarky answer I needed to get off my chest, sorry again. Have you been there? If so when was the last time?
― Something Super Stupid Cupid (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 20 February 2020 04:41 (four years ago) link
1998 or '99.

Sorry if my question was somehow off-putting; the original post was from 2006, and I was curious. That’s a heck of a run for a bar in a city that’s always changing.

Is Fine Wine still dj’ing on occasion in NYC area clubs?

Botanica gig is over. He hasn’t told me about any others. I can ask.

Mr Fine Wine was spinning vinyl in the UK and now is visiting Detroit , I see on Instagram ( his page and Rubin booty one)
― curmudgeon, Saturday, 2 September 2023 18:56 (one year ago) link
DId you see the picture of him with Glen Matlock? (He asked me to guess who it was but I failed) Never looked at Mike R's instagram page, will do so now.
― The Thin, Wild Mercury Rising (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 2 September 2023 19:00 (one year ago) link
Missed that pic. Mike R booty has written for zines and NY Times and is from Detroit but is NY based for awhile. A good follow I think
