Jamaican Aztec
A tribute to a friend who found himself at the end of a jungle runway with a load of something, that despite the name, did not come out of a lawn mower. Long, long ago. Don’t ask….

A tribute to the hardy residents of Kizhi Island, in the middle of Lake Onega, in the Republic of Karelia, Russia.

Flight To Macure

Reggie Doesn’t Live Here Anymore
Okay, truth be told, Reggie never did live here. A brain is a funny thing at 3 AM. Not ha ha funny, but, you know, funny.
11
Lemon Merengue Tortillas
Another dance tune. This one is Merengue.
12
Spoat Fishing
I’ll just slip in another wink to my Dad, because it is my website, and I can. During WWII, Dad’s nickname was Spoat, “Sport” with a Spartanburg, SC accent.

Steel My Heart
Just another steel drum song. This one is Reggae, and features a flute, a trumpet, and a xylophone!
14
Bombay Sapphire
Just when you thought you had heard it all, the boys in the band made friends with a couple guys from Bombay, playing a sitar and a sarod. Here we go again!
15
Kentucky Derby
A funny thing happened on the way to the next gig. The boys discovered Bluegrass, and boy do they love the banjo! Enjoy something new today!
16
Elkhorn, Kentucky Tunnel
Our Bluegrass lovers couldn’t get enough, so their buddy with the banjo was invited back. Love it!

And another pure Calypso sound. I’ll take a rum and Coke please.

Cheers to You, Friend
I’ll raise a glass to you, my friend, in a toast to all of the life we’ve lived together, even if it has been just long enough to listen to this song. Cheers!!
