Mayer Hawthorne: Dusty Fingers

[WhatTheFlyinFudge]

Here's a tip Mayer: DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE.

Now, continue digging... 

[RobotSally24312]

I wonder if he likes jazz. Because that will totally make me love him more.

[heyheywhatsupnow]

@RobotSally24312 he sure does! He talks about it in another interview :)

[donovanamadeus]

[dariusdynamite]

[dariusdynamite]

[AlanColeslaw]

[oldcaddy1]

THIS GUY IS MY MUSICAL TWIN! I LOVE LOVE LOVE OLD SCHOOL SOUL BUT NOT ENOUGH YOUNGER PEOPLE ARE INTO IT OR EVEN KNOW WHERE THESE RAPPERS ARE GETTING THEIR BEATS FROM. THIS IS MUSIC AT ITS REALEST AND I HOPE YOUNG PEOPLE WOULD GET HIP TO IT. THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT MAKES THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!

[StellatheBot]

M.S. Morrison

[SoulMulisha]

what is the first song being played? Sounds like some kind of mix of the Manhattans. Anybody knows?

[ncstateofmind]

Mayer needs to drop stones homo and get with a major label!

[buddytyree]

@ncstateofmind And lose all artistic freedom? not to mention rarely do major labels press vinyl, a format Mayer's music NEEDS to be heard on?

Just ain't gonna work out...

[hinata750]

@ciaobela1979 sounds like u haten lol

[Underload6]

So even though I can't brag that I grew up on old school motown or hip-hop, I did grow up on guys like Mayer Hawthorne. I guess that's my bragging right, and I like it like that.

[boxcube123]

i would like to have all the songs playing in the background

Tell me the artist and songname please :)

[kneslo1]

I like that he signed with STONES THROW RECORDS real hard trying to find a FAMILY dedicated to real HIP HOP & SOUL MUSIC in one COMPANY

Mayer, you are one freakin awesome dude!

[cmac565]

Wow Mayer, you just mentioned the Delfonics, and I just made a comment on another song of yours moments ago about them, now I know I am in the right camp!

Some of my old school favs; The Independents,Sylistics,New Birth,Enchantment, and the Chi-Lites, just to name a few. I have quite a vinyl collection. Again, all I can say is thank you thank you!. You are so smooth, no doubt you can and will disturb the waters because you are so on point! As Michael would say, don't stop until you get enough!!

[671LordsofGuamtown]

I hope this guy sticks with Stones Throw.

[SoiPao4414]

@671LordsofGuamtown he will. :)

[chillydotjeff]

This is what I like . . Music bridging the gap between all ethnic groups. Good job Mayer,keep up the good work.

[arvisjaamarr]

[molynn400]

there's definitely not an arrogance... this is one of the realest, most humble dudes in person... he's just laid back and seriously funny.

[vegbird1]

@molynn400 - Agreed! I just met him a few weeks back and was shocked by how chill, approachable and down-to-earth he was. Very refreshing!

[colorsofwisdom]

Do I sense a kind of arrogance? Or is it just me? Hes like in a semi-god modus.

[glebo2007]
