Friday Drive
Friday October 21st, 2022 with Trevor Walker
[Just Vibing!]

Happy Friday Drivers! Welcome to this week’s offering! Some very nice music for you this week and if all goes well it will be a nice variety as well! Had so much fun last week I figured we’d kind of continue in the spirit of last week’s tour! In the usual mellow climb to our final destination to some booty shaking good times. To wind you down from your week we will be hitting up the french Caribbean with some Brazilian grooves with some new and vintage reissues on a jazzy tip in hour one and then taking it to the dance floor in hour two with some jazzy soulful funky afro boogie grooves to warm up your weekend! Thank you for being here and hope you enjoy the ride!
