Michael: Play Me That Rhythm
from The Volume Knob Hosted by Conseil Keith Serry Inc.
Many thanks to Michael for sharing his story with us this week. You can read a bunch of his writing on his blog Radio Free Canuckistan or by picking up one of his books. Learning more about Condition is tougher. You can pick up a copy of their 1985 record Mumbo Jumbo (which features Play Me That Rhythm) on Discogs. There is little to no other evidence of the band on the 'net! As always, you can get in touch with The Volume Knob on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook or at our website volumeknob.net. Do you have a story about the song that saved your life? Send it to me at [email protected].
