[Dynagroove] My Homie Walked on the Moon with Francois K...

[. t . honey]

:) i't funny cuz the guy who jokingly said "House Iz Dead" on the melodic
thread is the same guy who turned me on to the legendary stories of
Francois K ..  thanks peter !

sara .. i agree " It was ethereal. "  this was my first time too and
everyone there was smiling from ear to ear .. veterans nodding as they
see the FK Newbies being blown away ...

all i could say is this guy is amazing ..  awesome  and any other words
that describe this blissed out music genius .. for tops he seemed to be
thoroughly enjoying himself .. as he lit us up

...... thank you Wax ..... wow

"today we celebrate freedom in all its forms" in memory of MLK - tina

It was so interesting seeing all your >homies who usuallly bop along to
the 4x4 beat immediately and with ease >switch it up to the jungle syth
head bop with maybe a definat point here >or there. I coulnt even leave
the downstairs to smoke a cigarette!!! It >was absolutely and utterly

cake, the piece de reistance, the golden >element, was for this crazy
jungle interlude to be followed up with >Walking on the Fucking Moon
(hence the subject line). I saw an >instantaneous array of reactions, a
couple happy claps, i burst out >laughing cuz i just didnt know what else
to do, the looks of on some >poeples faces were of them trying to make
heads or tails, lots of jumping. > It is always nice to realize at the

could dance forever, dancing on the stage, and >that FK and i could live
together while i was dancing on, dancing on the >stage. Some may say, I’m
wishing my days away, no way. Sorry, i got a >little carried away there.
(Cue the “Let’s Get It On” in 3, 2...) But, >that 38-29-38 of pure loving

is Dead”, I pity you. I pity you and your >world (aka Nazi Germany) AND
the horse you rode in on. Has the FBI in >your world put out an “Amber
Alert” for the killer? Do they have any >leads or a composite sketch of

fact or fiction? No, all kidding aside, such a >negative statement that
hosue is dead is just an evil thing to say, it >kind of hurts my

happiness all the time, but to me there is nothing that can ever >be
