HEAVEN!
This is music that changed my outlook and my life halfway through the first hearing. It was the very definition of exquisite timing. I had never heard anything like it. Spoke to me in vast volumes.
I believe he was only 23 years old when he cut this.

Great memory. Dropped a hit of acid and rode the tune through. Fitting that the name of the next tune on the album is "Hope Your Feeling Better". I sure was......

I remember back in the day when I saw Carlos and the boys play at Winterland to a full house.
Nothing quite does it like his guitar excellence.
Still a favorite - timeless.

In high school they'd play this as the intro to the morning PA announcements.

It's always struck me as remarkable that a Hungarian guitarist would have so much influence on Brazilian pop, especially the bossa nova of the early '60s. Fittingly, Carlos dedicates a samba to him. BTW, Szabo's work with Chico Hamilton is killer stuff. thanks for this. i didn't know. |

Great song! It always takes me back to when I was still a child in the '70s. Sweet memories.

THIS is one of those songs...can bring a reverential hush to any gathering...which is cool, because when the guitar really starts to sing and the melody takes off, it shifts the whole thing into another gear, whether it's Red Rocks or a candle-lit bedroom...ROCK ON!

I remember a time when a friend and I were at a restaurant in Toronto. There was a jukebox and I played this song. When I returned to the table, our relationship went to a whole other level. I always think of that when I hear this beautiful piece. |

Can never get enough of Santana. Love to hear some deep cuts off Borboletta.

Incident at Neshabur - that song just instantly transports me right back to my teens (for a few minutes anyways) |
