Slow Jams ~ Deep & Sweet 60s Soul ~ DJ Primo & friends FREE! 9:30 pm - 2:00 am About Deep 60's to early 70's soul on 45 rpm format. Every Tuesday at The Make-out Room in San Francisco, 3225 22nd St. Description Slow Jams also known as Lost & Found was created by Sean Lucky Siegle and Primo Pitino 5+ years ago, and the night has been running every Tuesday since. In many ways Slow Jams has become legendary, given that its profound caliber of sweet soul does not compare to any other night in San Francisco. Slow Jams yields a fluid blend of rare and hard to find love jams from the 60’s and early 70’s, including love ballads, group harmony, tearjerkers, classic low-rider oldies and R&B. This night is truly driven by the music, and embraces the purity of soul to unite people from all walks of life. ~Slow Jams Family

Thanks for the letter, sir. So many of your songs are really anchored in a geographical place. Do you write a lot about your surroundings, or more from memory? Sometimes I make up songs about “now,” sometimes about “the past.” I can’t predict it. Just whatever moves me at that moment. Can you describe your relationship (or lack thereof) with the Internet? As far as the Internet is concerned, I don’t have a computer and don’t know how to use one. You’re also known to be anti-air conditioning. Is there one bad air conditioning experience that stands out to you? Is it a metaphor for refusing to be human (a la “when we refuse to suffer”?) Or does sweating just automatically make a show better? I’ve got two problems with it. 1) It’s loud 2) It feels weird. What are some newer (past decade?) bands that you listen to? New music? Oh…”The Dirty Three”…among others. What do you think of the term “Godfather of Punk”? Has anyone ever called you that to your face? Does it make you laugh or feel uncomfortable or something else? I think it’s very nice. I’m glad our old band could have influenced other musicians — given them a “way,” so to speak. In the last “interview” you granted, the poem you wrote and recorded earlier this year for UK’s Mojo, you said it was strange to be turning 60 but playing shows where “the people stay 20.” Why do you think your music is so perennially appealing to young people? With the younger people at the shows, we’ve asked some of ‘em how they know about us and they say they see clips of us on YouTube, then they come. Oh, incidentally, my music has not always appealed to young (20-year-old) people. Especially when I was a 20-year-old people! Also in the late ’70s through the ’80s it was hit or miss… and I think that was partly because of a rigidity in my music at that time. It’s now that it’s the best time: we have (me and my drummer Tommy Larkins) the best, overall, times with audiences of all ages, in the U.S. and everywhere, right now. … Answers to questions you didn’t ask me: A few of my favorite guitarists are Los Amaya, a Spanish group of the 1970′s, and Raimundo Amador, Paco Del Gastor, Juan del Gastor and Diego del Gastor, and Clifton White (Sam Cooke’s player). In San Francisco, my favorite guitar player in town is Kenny Parker. Also Tommy Dunbar, whom I’ve worked with in the recording studio recently. When I record I still sometimes work with Greg Keranen on bass who I’ve known since he and Tommy Dunbar and Donn Spindt all played on records with me in the ’70s. Donn has been on recent recording sessions of mine, too. Slow Jams ~ Deep & Sweet 60s Soul 45s ~ DJ Primo & friends 10pm, FREE!
