1. Out Of Sight -- James Brown .. Early Funk. Similar to the later Poppa's Got A Brand New Bag but way better horns. I've loved this song from the first time I heard it. James Brown's Best. I'm astonished nobody else has given it a point or two.

2. Jingo -– Santana

Of course I am. I think that 6 weeks of ten and twelve hour days/6 days a week at work are starting to take their toll on me. Yesterday was a rough day all around, so this doesn't surprise me (I'd like some cheese with my whine please, or at least a little sympathy... )

Fin, please move things up and add for my #10....

Great album. The summer of 1968 (I was 12) was full of Creedence, Janis, The Doors, and The Chambers Brothers. Sitting crosslegged on my bedroom floor, listening over, and over again. Yyyyyyyuuuuuuuhhhhhhh.
