YEAH BABY!

All us old guys are up from our hemorrhoid cushions, dancing inside our walkers, and checking that our pacemakers are keeping up! Hope somebody's bringing the ibuprofen and liniment for afterwards!

That was the longest intro to "Black Magic Woman" I've ever heard. And then they didn't even play the song.
I feel so abused.

Hah! Great segue from Zero7 to this.
When I was a kid (in the 70s and early 80s) I hated this kind of easy listening elevator music.
It was typical of the music played during the daytime testcard on the BBC and my brother and I would have to endure it while waiting for the children's programs to start.
I still don't 'get' Santana but I have all Zero7's albums (even 'another late night' which is rubbish.) Perhaps the sound of Santana turns me back into that impatient 7 year old.

We will fix it we will mend it we will make it new new new,

I don't find it particularly unpleasant, but it seems to be the only guitar tone he has ever used.

Se acabó (a.k.a. "Se a cabo" ... not Spanish ;-))

Why do I keep reading “Crying Breasts”? Maybe it's the album cover.

I lost my cherry while listening to this album, in about, uh, 1969. (I was 14.) Great memories. Thanks.

The beginning of this really reminds me of the beginning of Les Miserables, for which I just played in the pit orchestra. I bet the guy who composed that had listened to this.

Wow, not heard this in many a moon. Takes me way back, way back to a very peaceful place, a place where we had values and respect.


I hadn't heard it in a very long time, either, but I recognized it immediately! It took me back to my college days.
