Listening to this now

Two years ago I spent 5 weeks in Australia in a camper. From Brisbane to Point Trib to Darwin to Kangaroo Island to Sydney with plenty of stops along the way. I met some of the nicest people on the planet. Cheerful, friendly, helpful and polite. I wish you all to stay safe during these trying climate times.

------- now on with the "listening to this now" thread -----

Raiz - Simentera

This is some great music from the Cape Verde Islands. A former Portuguese colony off the coast of Africa. The musicians took their own great heritage, absorbed and mixed in the Portuguese music and ended up with something even better than the ingredients. This is just one example.

You might have enjoyed your trip more if you had got out of the camper occasionally and gone for a walk for some fresh air.

Stanley Turrentine - Sugar (full album)

Actually I'm listening to this on my turntable at home. I just got a new turntable so it's time to listen to some old records that need to have the dust cleaned off.

Looks like one of S.L.I.P.'s album covers!  ?

"Walk On The Wild Side" - Jimmy Smith with arrangements by Oliver Nelson

Great arrangement and great organ player. IMO Everybody who plays a B3 organ owes a debt to Mr. Smith

One of the first records I ever owned:

Don't You Just Know It - Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns

Some early New Orleans blues/rock

I was at this concert in early November, quite a magical night. Magenta are a prog band but this annual event is mostly acoustic with solo spots, guests and the odd cover like this one.

God Gave Rock And Roll To  You - Argent

A nice take on the Marvin Gaye song...

Inner City Blues - Etta James

I cut some of my professional teeth gigging in a blues band so it has a special spot in my heart. I also gigged for Motown, took a liking to Marvin Gaye, and it's nice to hear Etta do justice to his tune.

And might come back again ?

I do listen to songs more than once

Plus I have a very good memory, it's just a little short ?

If there is a no-repeat rule, I'm in a heap of trouble!

Concerto For Group And Orchestra - Deep Purple

Because life is too short to listen to only one genre of music.

Apparently not as good as mine.

Maybe as good, but definitely shorter ?
