That's a rare video, this "Mighty Quinn."Brah wrote:Well...MM are English but he himself is South African, I had a German musician friend in Singapore, keyboard player, who was crazy into them. In the US most know MM only from his better take on a Springsteen song, which got tons of airplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJh47LybCkU
And to a lesser degree the infectious Mighty Quinn, a Dylan song which a lot of people covered, : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3K_qLZ3T8Ws
Am watching the series Vinyl, about a record label in the early 70s, and Focus are one of their artists, Hocus Pocus is the hit on the radio. You may want to check this series, not for Focus, but just the music side of the drama. A lot of Bolivian Marching Powder happening there...JR8 wrote:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdb9kX_Ljcs

While you're at it please tell him how their My Sweetheart song was a theme of the 70s for the greater NYC area, anyone from there / then hearing those legato guitar notes will be taken back in time to a world of different haircuts, cars and clothes.JR8 wrote:Thanks for that tip. My VPN was acting up recently but now it seems ok again I'll definitely try and get to see that; certainly sounds up my street.
[I sent a copy of your post to Jan just in case he wasn't aware of the series].
