Cassette concert

On this great day for staying indoors and reading and listening to the rain, here's the music by which it will be remembered, dug out from the basket housing the Full Collection, which is not very large: started with a full and long James Brown collection that has the three best very early recordings, lots from the high point, and tons of funk still being sampled by hip-hop people; three collections of Trio Los Panchos; La Tropa F, including in particular Sin Aviso; an Intocable with several hits; Ramon Ayala with Arracame El Corazon, one of my top five RA favorites; a Delbert McClinton including favorites Shotgun Rider and especially Heartbreak Radio; Linda Ronstadt's first set of Canciones de mi Padre, not played for a long time, but still great; a good collection of Bobby Blue Bland, lacking only Dark End of the Street; a collection of non-corrido hits by Los Tigres Del Norte; and the first Jennifer y los Jetz, and Ven a Mi is as wonderful as ever and still recalls the horrible hot days and nights that the movie was being made around here. Most of these were acquired over at the funny place on Lamar that was supposedly in the video business but that had lots of cassette cutouts. The rest came from Maldonado's (now La Tejanita). If more are played, they will be added to this account later today.
