Steel Player Fronting Cha Laca From Albuquerque?

I like the minor 6th mystery feel of the first song:

Good stuff!

We actually have chachalacas in our neighborhood.

There are only two options as I see it.
Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.

Did you scroll down to the bottom of the landing page? That's where the player is. And yes, I've had that same sort of problem on some pages where there was nothing but a static graphic. But not this time.

Oh, yeah... scroll down. Sheesh! "What a Maroon," as Bugs Bunny would say! :oops: Thanks Jon! :-)

Very interesting music, for sure. Kinda a Phil Collins influence on the percussion, IMHO.

Ha. Early pandemic, I got shut out of a live stream of a dear friend because I couldn't get past the splash page to pay for admission. I went around & around in circles and gave up. Turned out to be exactly this. It was off the screen and I was supposed to scroll down. Ugh. Missed my bud's show.
