thank you priemer
The lead guitar obbligato by Jesse Ed Davis always blew my mind. Simple but really tasty.
the oxfam is ‘horns’ down
One could sing “The Coo Coo Bird” with a mouth full of marbles and it would still sound good! I have over 20 versions and this is equal first (with the rest) !! Bonnie Carol, Townes, Pentangle, Ashley, Kweskin, Doc, Dylan, Renbourne, Hersch, Tanyas, Elliott ………………
Primo sample!
The circle w/ a half circle on top is the astrological sign for Taurus. Since Taj is a Taurus (May 17th), I would gather that’s why it’s included.
Oh that was helpful. (sarcastic)
To be honest with you, I have no idea what type symbol thats on top of his head!
is that the oxfam logo on his forehead?
they must’ve taken it from some ancient symbol or something…
