Bonus: "Everyday People".

I heard the African predecessor to "Jingo" on RadioParadise some time ago.  I think it's called "Jingo Lo Ba" and it sounds quite a bit more primal.  Not rock and roll, but interesting to here where the inspiration came from.

He opened for the GD one NYE at Oakland Coliseum, and had these two hunge drums (about 15 or 20 ft high!)

I think I was at that show. From what little I can remember of it. New Years' Eve, ya know....

We were eating dinner in an Afghan restaurant in San Rafael last year and he came in with a group of people. I think he'd been doing a performance/clinic for the Ali Akbar Khan School of Music, as there were students and all sorts of folks in the party.

Hmmm. Obviously I made an incorrect assumption.  :oops:

But it sure looked like him, and I thought I heard his name mentioned when introductions were being made. Now I'm wondering who it could have been.

Sorry, dude--your fears were realized. I rolled over and flipped on the radio for a sec when Sarah left for work at around 7:15 and heard Mystery Man, so knew 69 was the leadoff for today. Bummer.

On the other hand, I woke up for real at about 9:40 or so, and caught the second half of Sister Golden Hair, which meant I got my wish to hear Tuesday's 75 set one more time. Heard most of it Tuesday while on the bus going home from the Jeff Beck show, but this time I managed to catch Pinball, too--beauty. And the rest of the set was just gem after gem: Bowie, EWF, 10cc(!), Pete Wingfield(!!), GD, Todd(!!!), Kiss, Jigsaw--truly an inspired set. Friday's trip to '69 was nice but this was the set of the week, IMO.

I know, I was out of bed in time for the end of the Sunshine set & heard all the others.  Really did love that 75 set too.

That's the second week in a row that Dave has led off with the previous day's 60's set.  There oughta be a law...
