I'm really startin' to dig to dig Delicado. Gave it another listen and couldn't keep my leg from stompin'! Puts me to mind of some kind of East European folk song.
Thanks for the compliments on the ol' Otis cover![]()
My last band did a cover of Booker T & the MG's version of a theme from one of those Eastwood movies.(Can't recal the name at the moment,Old Age Moment!)
How far is Brick from the Delaware Water Gap?
Happy Thanksgivin'

Howling, Delicado is an old Latin folk tune from South America not sure from which country if I have to guess I’d say Brazil, this tune has giving me a steady gig in a local Lounge/restaurant called Bar Europe patronized by south of the border people and Americans as well it seems that around here I'm the only one who knows the song, when I play it the all place goes nuts, it's not uncommon for people to request this tune two and even three times during the gig.
Ah, Booker T and the MG, who can forget Green onions? I didn’t know they covered spaghetti western themes I'll have to search on YouTube for it you got me curious now.
I can relate to the forgetting part, these senior moments seem to happen with alarming frequency lately, I blame the beer not the age, some might say that I'm delusional but I’m sticking to my version until they can prove me wrong lol.
Bricktown is about 70 miles from Delaware water gap traveling on Rt 80West for me and Rt 80 east for you, the town is located 1 hour South from new York City and 45 minutes North of Atlantic City right on the Atlantic Ocean, if you ever come to the Jersey shores look me up I’ll do the same if I ever travel to Delaware water gap.
Happy thanksgiving to you as well friend and the rest of Bandmix community.
Fretwork,
A good Thanksgiving feast and a discussion with my bass playing and band mate son has jogged my memory as to the title of that old Hugo theme that we covered from the Booker T version!
HANG 'EM HIGH!

Here's a link.... (Couldn't find the MG's version, but here's the movie original!) Gotta still find that MG version
