Greetings all.
I come to you today with a heavy heart.
Thanks in large part to a busy schedule which only seems to get busier, I’ve decided to put Iron Leg on hiatus.
I don’t want to turn out the lights and shut the door, but I am going to have to suspend regular posting here until I get a little bit of breathing room in my life.
Funky16Corners, always the ‘main’ blog will remain at full strength, as will the weekly Funky16Corners Radio Show.
If funk, soul, jazz and rare groove are your bag, you can visit with me over there.
Iron Leg was started up in 2007 to feature pop, psyche and garage sounds from the 60s and beyond, and while my interest in these sounds has not wavered (I still have dozens of tracks digitized in reserve for future posts) my ability to get the posts written and up on the blog has.
During its existence, Iron Leg has featured hundreds of songs (not counting the ones in the mixes) and with any luck I’ll be back with some more.
The Iron Leg Digital Trip Podcast Archive will remain in force, 35 mixes strong, so stop by there if you’re in need of a listen.
Hopefully sometime in the not too distant future, things will settle down to the point where Iron Leg can get going again.
That said, thanks for coming by the last three and a half years.
See you later.
Peace
Larry
PS Head over to Funky16Corners
You’ve done a phenomenal job Larry, it must have fried your brain trying to keep this regular quality output up.
You’ve been doing a fantastic job, thanks for the hard work–take a break, you need it!
Larry, I don”t know how you do all the things you do.
You’re an inspiration, man.

ps, lovin’ the radio show.
Oh, Larry. I think I’m going to miss you most of all!
Thank you so much for all the great music.
Thanks Larry – the Leg will be missed. Office Naps survived a year plus hiatus, so here’s hoping the same for Iron Leg. Take care and come back soon. jcb
Say it ain’t so! Keep up the good work on the 16 and we’ll see you on the Flip-Side.
sad news, Larry, I shure did enjoy your mixes….I hope you’ll be back from time to time at least
anyway, huge thanks for your effort extraordinaire
hugs

First, big thanks to jcbiii for the info that officenaps.com is back. Great news, that!
And second (should be the other way, I know), big thanks to Larry for everything you’ve done so far and apparently will continue to do at F16C.
Noooooo Larry! You trained my taste for some good sixties tunes.
Sorry to hear this Larry, but understand only too well, having had to ‘rest’ my radio show this year due to sheer shagged-outness!
Hope IL does return at some point and that you find some leisure in your life one of these days!
Thanks for all the lovely aural goodies IL has already provided!

By all means, take your time… we’ll be here waiting for your return. I don’t have to tell you how grateful I am for all of your invaluable education over the years.
Peace and blessings.
p.s. feel free to hit me up on the google talk when you have a spare minute, and send mine and Leslie’s best to the fam 🙂
I’ll just add to the kudos – your posts are always an informative read, and have led me to a few gems I hadn’t discovered before. We’ll be standing by for whenever you’re ready!
Cheers
Larry,
You’re an inspiration to me. Catch your breath man.

I’ve discovered so much great music through this blog. Thank you so much. So many songs that have become classics on my ipod, I’d never heard of before your blog. Please pop on occasionally and post a new one.
Some of my favorites:
Tony Orlando – To Wait for Love
Dave Berry – The Crying Game
The Cake – Baby that’s Me
Lynn Redgrave – While I’m Still Young
Those are the more recent ones, because I started tagging the album as Iron Leg Blog. There are so many great ones from around 08 that I probably forgot I got them from you. Thanks again. It has been great to hear your music.
