But don&#8217;t worry &#8211; I&#8217;m not gonna attempt Karaoke for that old Zepplin tune and post audio of it here. (smile)\u00a0 And today&#8217;s ramble is a short one &#8211; or a short pair, to be more precise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>. . . <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This was one tune from the trip; I hadn&#8217;t heard it in a years. I&#8217;m certainly glad now it was on the trip&#8217;s playlist.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HmsxULFf5oc\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve made no secret of the fact that I grew up in the Deep South. But I have to admit I&#8217;d forgotten just how dead on-target this tune was in capturing being a youngster there.\u00a0 IMO few tunes capture that experience better.<\/p>\n<p>. . .<\/p>\n<p>FWIW: the album of the same name is worth a listen. Some really good tunes on that one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>. . .<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I also had the chance to listen to a truly special collection of more recent vintage, from and about the US southwest \u2013 the Refreshments\u2019 <em>Fizzy Fuzzy Big and Buzzy<\/em>. While technically not their debut (the group had put out other recorded work), it was the first of their offerings to receive widespread notice.<\/p>\n<p>Longtime TAH readers know I\u2019m a fan of the group, particularly of their signature tune \u201cBanditos\u201d. However, unless you\u2019re a fan there&#8217;s a good chance you&#8217;ve probably never even heard of what I consider the best tune \u2013 even though it\u2019s from the same disc.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JUp8yW0c5Xc\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I have to agree.
