[Sancho]

Soupy brained El Sancho digs old timey blues too. 9/10. But you know, Jack, if you goes down to the Mississippi Delta, sooner or later somebody’s going to want to sell their soul to the devil down at the crossroads.

Speaking of which, I’m thinking the most famous crossroads out in your neck of the woods is where these two streets intersect:

I liked this. A lot. I'm giving it a 10 out of 10 awesomes. -- Ah, that was meant for Jack's..

I'll give Grateful Dead a 7. ...


Something a little different here. I've always found her voice to be exquisite, and eerie.

That's a hell of a place to sell your soul! Of course, the man dealin' with Satan wasn't Mississippi John Hurt but Robert Johnson!

Ah, the Sanch, what an intersection. Saw it on the last visit to the de Young/Legion of Honor (love Rodin).

Whoa! You’re right, BookBeauty, what a voice. 9/10. Also, I’m glad she let guitar-guy resolve the ending; for a moment, I thought she was going to leave us hanging.

Yeah, Jack, that’s a pretty cool neighborhood. I walked past that very intersection a few months ago on a city-hike, and if I’m not mistaken, there’s a Ben & Jerry’s Scoop Shop there now (N.E. corner I think). Anyhow, I think they may be clinging to past a little too strenuously in that ‘hood: I mean, you didn’t have to look too far to find a tie-dye T-shirt (or a hookah), but that stuff is all for the tourist dollars. Hell, 42nd St in Manhattan has a Disney Store now – and the Vegas Strip looks like an amusement park. Has the whole world gone PC on me? Whoa! Chill out Sancho! Back to the music:

Here’s a little dance number I’ll never tire of - a one and a two, and a - Chicken in a bread pan picking out dough, Granny does your dog bite, No child, no…

Ah-hem. ONE two three, ONE two three, ONE two three…I can still get my Señora to cut a rug to this one:

Excellent 9/10

This song lingered in my mind for a long time when I was younger. It was one of those songs that it took me ages to find out about as I'd hear snippets on the radio, but not the title.

Hell yeah! Super Sounds from the Seventies. 9/10 I liked that song the first time I heard it.

I'm gonna change gears again. Here's a Jazzy Rap from the 90s:

After a smooth bottle of red wine, that was very enjoyable. 7/10

Kenny Everett was great wasn't he? I was at school when they released Cool For Cats, and liked it. I though for ages that the line"and I gave the dog a bone" was an example of lazy rhyming. I didn't realise it meant anything else.

Watched a George Harrison documentary and it reminded me of this. it used to be on the Jukebox in The Black Rock in Wakefield, and I always put it on when I went in.

9/10 As the Fab-Four go, I’ve always preferred guitar-man George Harrison. And that tune was on the first L.P. I ever bought. I’d saved enough money cutting grass to buy a cheap record player from the K-Mart and I had enough left over to buy a couple of albums, so I bought that one and another one by Three Dog Night.

So then, here’s a fun tune by those philosophers of the barrio, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong. It’s got a couple of really cool guitar licks in it - and guess who? Yep, it’s George Harrison on lead guitar.

Finally found the Sanch's genre.

It's good pop music, and there's nothing wrong with that. 6/10.

This isn't good pop music, but it's good something, or at least I'm starting to think it is again, having loved it once and then despised it for twenty-five years.

[Sancho]

Ahh, punt.

It's good pop music, and there's nothing wrong with that. 6/10.

I’m sure it is, but it just isn’t my cup of tea. And neither is this, or as Ozzy famously said, “What’s a Bieber?”
