"Going Up The Country" - Canned Heat

Perhaps some ruminating about illuminating?

Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye (triple word score)

Better than illiteration

Make Me A Memory (Sad Samba) - Grover Washington, Jr. A song we occasionally play on a gig if we have a dinner set before the dance music.

I used to love a lava lamp but later I lost that love and was to lazy to even light the lamp, so it languished, unlit, in a little corner of the lending library.

Bamboléo - Fania All-Stars

Some Skunk Funk - The Brecker Brothers

El Raton - Fania All-Stars - Cheo Feliciano - Jorge Santana (Carlos' brother) El Raton translated is The Mouse (or The Rat)

My Old Flame - Jazz Standard, first sung by Mae West, backed by the Duke Ellington Orchestra

30 Days In The Hole - Humble Pie

Live From Daryl's House - Joe Walsh

I'm more of a 'don't care' person

Live In London - Supertramp

The Groove Merchant - Thad Jones & Mel Lewis Orchestra

Tempus Fugit - Stan Getz Quartet

Isle of the Dead - Sergei Rachmaninoff -- Mikhail Pletnev Russian National Orchestra

My pleasure. That was the first version of Charade I ever found interesting. One of my tests of a well crafted song is that it will stand up to completely different treatments. Don't get me wrong, I like tons of music that won't stand up to that test, but I have a special appreciation for those that do. I like a lot of Mancini work, especially when he was doing Cool School era jazz like this. The Brothers Go To Mothers - Henry Mancini

Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray - Patsy Cline

This one is a real groaner

While compiling a 'fake disk' for Band-in-a-Box, we ran across this version of Henry Mancini's "Charade". I never cared for the song by Mancini, although I like a lot of his other work, but this version I really like. It is done by a bunch of Italians who seem to have a very good understanding of how to play Brazilian stye music. Charade - Nicola Conte

A song my mom used to play when I was a wee tot. Mister Sandman - Chordettes
