A D.C.Go-Go Christmas with Chuck Brown

Chuck Brown has been dubbed "The Godfather of Go-Go," the
distinctive Washington D.C.-based funk sound that has its own
aesthetics and culture. This week, New Orleans' musicologist and
go-go aficionado Melissa Weber shines some light on go-go and
Brown because in 1999, he released The Spirit of Christmas.


Weber is an archivist at Tulane University, and in New Orleans
she DJs at WWOZ and throws parties under the name she's best
known by, DJ Soul Sister.


We talk about Brown, his Christmas music, and the 1991
compilation, Let's Go-Go Christmas.
