I'm glad you reminded me, tomorrow I am going to put up my Fav Taj! He's been true to his art all these years. A UMass boy.
My favorite Taj Mahal Album - November 1972 at Winterland with the Pointer Sisters singing back-up doo-wop.

So i don't get why they weren't pulling the trigger? Too much hashish? Maybe we only target the big boys now?
As close as I ever got to liking hip-hop, or rap... or whateva they call it. That's Herbie Hancock's Cantaloupe Island music.
That song is part of Vladimir's Saga that appeared on the B side of singles. A lot of what is said in it refers to previous 'episodes'. 'The disease that I was cured of.... Etc.'.
