Might fine B3 solo.  Thought it WAS Santana or their organ player.  I am sure they hated thinking so too

Ack. Never understood the 70s nostalgia kick. It was a decade of cultural, economic, and political hangovers. Disco, stagflation, Nixon...no thanks.

There's a great article on Gerald Wilson, the writer of "Viva Tirado," in the September 2011 issue of Stereophile magazine.

I usually love (prefer) music older than I am, with one special exception: nearly the entire decade 1970-1979. {#Silenced}
This genre does nothing for me, either...but I'm afraid we're in the minority here.

It was the 1970s.  If you were there, you understand.  If you're too young to have been there, count yourself lucky.

I kind of wish people would still dress up colorfully—maybe not quite like on their cover. good song.

Maybe even a C3.  I'd still give the edge to (Santana's) Greg Rolle, but this is definitely groovy.

Having heard this music many times before this airing on RP, it was easy for me to rate it. So, no, I'm not daft, but you are an asshole.

This is cheesy, almost cliched—but it makes me happy. You can't help but start smiling.

Love it.  Just love it.
