What Are You Listening To? - March 2021

Gabor Szabo. Spellbinder, 1966. He wrote what is probably one of the most recognized pieces of the 1960s rock, yet nobody knows of him.



He wrote Gypsy Queen, the intro to Santana's version of Black Magic Woman. He was a huge influence on Carlos.
Gabor was a Hungarian American and blended his native music heavily with American jazz.
I recommend pulling up Gypsy Queen and giving it a listen.

Oasis - Supersonic

An acoustic recording from Maida Vale studios back in 1993, about 6 months before they released the seminal "Definitely Maybe."

Relaxing with Santana's double album 'Viva Santana'. It has my favourite version of Aqua Marine and a gorgeous Soul Sacrifice along with a live version of She's Not There but is sadly missing my favourite Santana track Batuka.

Regards,

Jay.

Being in a nostalgic mood I pulled this old Golden Earing album with an extended version of Roger McGuinns ‘Eight Miles high'. I recall sitting at the bar in our low liightened favourite pub, where the music was played so loud that you could hardly understand your own word. If you wanted to tell your neighbour something you had to put your mouth directly near his/her ear, and if they could understand you they would nod their heads. And vice versa.

That takes me back.................. I remember those times as well............
It would make me nauseous now, but back when I was young it was just a normal Saturday night!....
And the smell of the ciggy smoke on my clothes the next day............... Good Times!!

I'm not big on cover songs, generally............ but this one's pretty sweet. It makes me feel good to see these young ladies doing this song............. gives me hope for the future. Not all of the young ones are listening to crap music.............. This song is such a classic............

Big +1 on that Beef. And the best part is they're really good at it too...nice picking and good harmony...beautiful voices. Unfortunately for them it's 2021.

Listening to Christine Lavin. A wonderfully wise songwriter and singer. You owe it to yourself the experience her.
