It’s r&b night on Al compas del mundo and these are songs from somebody’s youth. Casting an eye over a history that has been labeled a “teen-age wasteland.” Not by me, though, I’m more inclined to embrace a “Land of 1000 Dances”, though I can’t claim to have mastered more than three: the Twist, The Freddy, and the Funky Chicken (I once won a watermelon at a Funky Chicken competition in a Milwaukee bar). Heroics aside, I’ve gathered well-known hits alongside more obscure recordings. i.e. Shirley and Lee doing “Let the Good Times Roll” vs. Nappy Brown’s “I Cried Like a Baby.” Nostalgia and an education in a 1-hour fell swoop. You better believe!
