OK Ok now I am getting it.. You cats SAMPLE this shit and reuse it..
whew.. ok ok.. i was picturing hords of people sitting in rooms together
listening to Lalo S. soundtrack music.. I read that the FBI use those to
torture norweigians.. Anyway... ab

about Airto and flora.. never heard of them? Wow.. you must try to find
Fingers ( see Airto eye ear toe, Fingers .. that s where I get my
namesake) And there is one record before Fingers... and a bunch after, I
used to see him all the time at the Keystone. had a great band, the
Fauturoso Brothers, (bad sopelling) and always a good fusion american
guitarist...You should also check out C. Coreas Light as a feather .
Airto plays traps on this classic.
