On December 1st, 2012, at approximately 1430, Michael Barrow a.k.a. Don Biz delivered this eulogy in honor of Doug Pitters a.k.a. Doug Nice, at The Druid Pub in Inman Square (Cambridge, MA): "Whether you met Doug recently, decades ago, or some time in between, I can say without hesitation that you were touched. He was the right combination of badass, soccer hooligan, house head, and wise man. He was about the 'we' rather than the 'me.' My favorite thing about Doug was his ability to sit quietly while a big, heated discussion was going on around him. If you didn't know him very well, you might assume that he was self-centered, aloof, or unaware of what was happening. After all, he was just sitting there in the corner looking cool while the rest of us were losing our minds arguing over some foolishness. Then Doug would motion and the chaos would stop. He would calmly and deliberately deliver the 'right' answer, explain why it was the right answer, and everyone would agree. Like the rest of you, I am shocked and saddened that he was taken from us far too soon. But, I can sit here with a smile on my face for I am happy to have had him in my life. Today, let us join together to remember, reflect, and rejoice that our lives were touched by such a great soul. Music was a big part of Doug's life, as was The Druid. We could think of no better way to celebrate his existence than by assembling in this place, enjoying some of his favorite music, and raising a pint in his honor. Doug, we love you and we miss you." As you listen to this episode, I respectfully ask that you commit to taking steps in 2013 that will permanently remove all of the negative energy in your universe, string by string, quark by quark, and expend said recovered energy into making the world around you a better place. Love and happiness, Rodney Marable a.k.a. The Soul Donkey http://www.souldonkeymusic.com

This edition of Soul Donkey Music is dedicated exclusively to the memory of Douglas Roy Pitters a.k.a. DJ Mister Doug Nice, a real-life Jedi Knight, samurai warrior, vinyl jock, and an entity who was skilled in virtually all aspects of his existence. We honor his life and hope that he has found peace and serenity on the Other Side. The music featured in this episode was recorded live at the Boston Architectural Society's Halloween party in 2004. Despite having played on over 500 radio shows, parties, nightclubs, and other various events between 1988-2012, this set appears to be the only existing live digital recording of Doug Nice. If you call yourself a DJ in Boston, you owe this man's memory a debt that can only be repaid by remaining true to your craft and never straying from the Way. With love and respect from your friend and Padawan, Rodney Marable a.k.a. The Soul Donkey http://www.souldonkeymusic.com

We extend our heartfelt sympathies and prayers to those of you who were adversely affected by Hurricane Sandy, especially to the people of the Caribbean, New York, and New Jersey. We have many classmates, professional colleagues, and musical brethren who are still recovering from this storm and we hope that you are able to bounce back stronger than you were before. We offer congratulations to President Obama and Senator-elect Liz Warren (MA) and pray fervently that they can find the strength and wisdom to rise above the negativity espoused by those persons who would apparently rather see this country fail than raising the level of their consciousness. The imagery for this episode was taken on Election Night in Grant Park (Chicago, IL) and is provided with permission by our friends at KBev Photography (http://www.kbevphoto.com). Finally, we extend a special happy birthday to Maurice "Mojavi" Wilkey, a pillar of the house music community in New England and an all around great person. The bulk of this episode's music was recorded by Mojavi in the summer of 2003 (possibly 2004) when the BeFree parties were still being hosted in Cambridge, MA. We completely understand if it takes you several months to get past the first fifteen minutes and we apologize for our selfishness in not sharing this wonderful mix with you sooner. Over the past 8 years, Soul Donkey Music has been regularly downloaded by househeads in South Africa, Russia, Japan, Italy, Brazil, China, Canada, Germany, Spain, Holland, Australia (special shout to Ollie Brooke who continues to keep things tight Down Under), Belgium, India, South Korea, Ireland, Mexico, and Pakistan. We are humbled and honored by your continued patronage and support. Love and happiness, Rodney Marable a.k.a. The Soul Donkey http://www.souldonkeymusic.com

Happy summer! Soul Donkey music is proud and honored to welcome back old friend Maurice "Mojavi" Wilkey who blesses us with a soulful mix of Paradise Garage classics that was first performed publicly at the summer 2005 Be Free Collective gathering in Cambridge, MA. The set he thew down that day was so hot that I still haven't bothered to acquire most of the records that you'll hear in this episode -- it is impossible to improve on perfection. The Be Free Collective is a multicultural Cambridge-based underground arts initiative that provides a laboratory for various cultural initiatives from DJs, vocalists, fashion designers, photographers, dancers, percussionists, sculptors, graphic artists, tattooists, martial artists, academics, civic leaders, social activists, and all others who incorporate an aesthetic dimension to their chosen craft. The BFC motto is "good people coming together to eat, dance, mingle, listen to music and enjoy the company of like-minded individuals." The Be Free Collective strives to provide a safe, positive and nurturing environment for both participants and patrons. Each unique experience is entertaining, educational, and anchored in a harmonious communal setting that is fun, family-friendly, and open to the public. Our events are inter-generational, interactive, and are gradually becoming a haven for both aspiring and established members of the underground arts community. The Be Free Collective was founded by Jenene Cook, Shannon Frison, Kenny Bailey, Maurice Wilkey, Ayano Strickland, and Andre Edwards a.k.a. Brother Dre. Originating as a cookout hosted by a good few friends who saw the need for more gathering spaces for families of color in Cambridge, it has evolved over the years into a hugely anticipated community event featuring luminaries such as resident Maurice Wilkey, DJ Bruno [Utopia], Househead Pete, Chris Grant a.k.a. Man of the House [Boston House Music Coalition], Rafael Sanchez, Adam Gibbons [Uhuru Afrika], and KC Hallett [Soul Revival]. Vegan soul food, house music from world-class DJs, and the coolest crowd ever -- these parties are like *nothing* you have ever experienced. We hope this episode of Soul Donkey Music gives you a taste of the best summer outdoor gathering New England has to offer. Please visit Maurice's web site (http://www.mojavimix.com) for more information on upcoming events in 2012 and beyond. As always, we thank you for your continued patronage and support. Love and happiness, Rodney Marable a.k.a. The Soul Donkey http://www.souldonkeymusic.com

max metral a.k.a. dj holiday gave me this cd in the parking lot of milton academy after a bssc soccer match in the summer of 2001 when we were playing together for druid celtic. i distinctly remember nearly losing control of my car on 95-s at the beginning of the second movement (you will see what i mean soon enough). max has promised to provide us with a playlist at some point in the future but i think we will focus more on getting him into the studio for a live session. we hope you enjoy this gem of a mix and that you can find some time to leave us some positive feedback in the itunes store. brenna casey marable returns as our guest photographer. may this music aid your struggle. love and happiness, rodney marable a.k.a. the soul donkey

(pronounced tah-mitt-em) to help you get warmed up for WMC this year. We are pretty confident that you're going to end up playing this one all springtime long. If you are in the Boston area, you can catch KC on Friday evenings at the Middlesex Lounge (Central Square, Cambridge) and then follow him to Redline in Harvard Square. He is also a resident of the infamous Soul Revival parties and appears regularly at various other Boston nightspots. You should visit his Myspace page (http://www.myspace.com/kcsgroove) for more detailed information on where he is and what he is doing).

You may also find this very soothing while taking the bus, train, or ferry. We are keeping the talking to a minimum and letting the music speak for us. Portions of this episode were taken from "Embellish" by Vonnie Holiday of eu4ic Sounz. We close with an edit by KC Hallett. Go in peace. Love and happiness, Rodney Marable a.k.a. The Soul Donkey
