#NowSpinning: My mans @thebeardedlibra.bsky.social earwormed me right off the bat this morning, so now I gotta Santana it up. Not mad about that at all... I picked this up before a therapy session and Kurt said his brother almost named his kid Abraxas. THAT would've rocked.

Not in my top 10, but it's damn good I admit.

Which album from your top 10 would you have to get rid of if you were to make way for Abraxas?

Albert King With Stevie Ray Vaughan - In Session ->

Ooooh, that's a solid one, my lady's got that on vinyl. But sometimes imaginary sacrifices gotta be made. 🤷‍♂️

One of the finest concerts I've ever seen was Santana with Buddy Miles at the Festhalle in Frankfurt Germany, 1987. Buddy Miles moved back and forth between the drum kit on intrumental tracks and center center stage for vocals. Incredible show matched only by the amount of hashish we smoked.

I really need to add some more Santana to my collection, such a great vibe.

One of the greats! So much emotion in his playing.
