A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slo-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to enjoy.

Take a walk down the avenue
Songblague is always happy to add to its stable of street struttin' songs. The unfortunately named Crusaders have a nice fat discography that I need to dive deeper into. But I'm mostly loving this album start to finish. Part of me thinks that Larry Carlton's entire career is simply gravy after the "Kid Charlemagne" guitar solo (except of course for this other highpoint), but his tone is always such a joy. I almost hesitate to put this in the Claire Huxtable file. What do you think, lawyers and law school people? Could you keep your head in the books while this excellent toe-tapper is in the air?
We are not in it for the money. Songblague runs on communitarian values, love of music, and a dash of vanity. If you like what you're hearing, please purchase it from one of the remaining retailers who would like to sell it to you.
Carlton is fantastic. Check out the audio demo of his guitar course. Everything he plays is tasty and tidy.
