Mexico



When I think of Mexico, this is the song that comes to mind.
Well,  this one and "Besame Mucho."
Must have played that one a thousand times. We did a real slow version, featuring my pal, Tony, on tenor sax.
His daughter and I did the vocal together.

For me, Mexico was a place where the good was the best, the bad was the worst, and the ugly got real fucking ugly.
I miss it.

Viva Los San Patricios




Mexican music on the pipes seems like a perfect celebration of St. Patrick's Day.
If you don't know why, you can read about it here:

Villa-Lobos



I dig this Villa-Lobos piece.
The arpeggio is a monster.
Makes me want to break out my guitar and get serious again.

I hope you dig it, too.

Fight!



This is it.
If Obama get away with this, he will have the power of an Emperor, a King -- a Fuhrer.

I disagree with Rand Paul on many things.
But not on this one.

Time




This great little tune is an obscure piece by the "British Invasion" group, the Dave Clark Five.
One of my favorites.

I hope you dig it.

Spring is Almost Here



At least, that's what the ponies tell me.
And horses never lie.

For Free



One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite song-writers.

I hope you dig it.
