The background singers sound as bored of this song's excessive repetition as I am. I can just hear them thinking "Isn't this fucking thing over yet??"

if you listen to this on a very low sound, the chorus sounds like ducks quacking.

This Spanish flavored set of tunes, including Charlie's, is refreshing.  Thanks, RP.  {#Cowboy}

Say what you want about the American paranoia about Cuba that is left over from a bygone era when their relationship with the now-defunct USSR could have possibly caused your "democracy" some pain . . . the fact is that most Americans don't really understand Cuba and the wonderful people that live there. The fact that an offer like this would go without an answer while hundreds of people died is a testament to the bullshit ego that Bush had to hold onto just so he didn't run afoul of his father, his Vice President, and the Republican party.

It's truly sad when people can't just be people. Real lives that matter.

This song has an interesting background:

A tradition of any Criollos game was to play the Panamanian tamborito song "¿Qué te parece, cholito?" (a social commentary song that attained hit status in Puerto Rico when one of its authors, Panamanian organ player Avelino Muñoz, moved to the island)

Never fails to amaze me how mediocre harp players like Musselwhite, Butterfield, and Mayal get so much attention and airplay while the true greats such as Little Walter, James Cotton, and Sonny Terry are practically unknown. Musselwhite always has excellent backing musicians, I'll give him that much.

Musselwhite and Mayall are definitley better than mediocre and as far as having excellent backing musicans thats Mayalls strong suit, his bands are what makes him so great, Charlie does blow a better harp probably. You talk greats then you have to include both Sonny Boy Williamsons, Big Walter Horton, Junior Wells and Butterfield are on that list. There are quite a few players now that don't get mentioned one is Rod Piazza from the west coast and he has a hell of a band, The Mighty Flyers. Another is Kim Wilson from the Fabulous Thunderbirds and the list goes on oops forgot Howlin' Wolf. That being said this isn't my favorite Musselwhite tune.
 


Don't forget Little Walter. 

HarrO, at least no one claims that John Popper from Blues Traveler is a great harmonica player anymore. Couldn't stand his "style."

Yeah, repetitive. But then, we, being imperfect human beings, need constant reminders so we don't forget important things. I love Charlie Musselwhite. He is true to the music.

They either started different songs or started in the wrong key. I know Honeyboy through steve arvey, Honeyboy is an old school gentleman and his fret work is still great.

I think the facts are pretty clear. Cuba offered assistance and they were ignored. Cuba is recognised by most of the world in offering medical assistance to disadvantages countries. . . with the exception of the USA who don't seem to report it for some reason. {#Rolleyes}

Great tune btw! {#Mrgreen}

I feel like this song is played every time I tune-in to RP. I'm getting more than a little tired of the monotony of the song.
On a positive note... I like the harmonica and Charlie's Johnny Cash impersonation but sadly, that's about it.

Personally, I think that's fascinating and entirely relevant. 

What "facts," by the way, are in question?
