I love it when the bottom just drops right out in the middle of the intro then it all kicks back in hard, like A Ton of Blue Bricks! Kinda like the situation the dude is in here. It all sure resonates Deep and Blue through Life, too!

I like Santana, in general. However, I must admit his improvisations tend to be a tad predictable ... this particular track is a little cheesy ;-)  |

Are your ears painted on? This isn't their best, but Santana has made a few almost perfect songs. |

I wonder how many years of practise it takes to really wring a full, rich, warm tone out of a cowbell? And I heard that the cowbells with the best tone have spent at least five years around the neck of a Swiss cow exposed to the driving rain, blistering sun and levee mud of the hillsides around Bern and Zurich. |
