Sweet Jesus. Fuck you, Danny. Fuck you for making a strong-ass Westside pimp cry in his Bustelo. My 20-year-long love-hate relationship with American Airlines X Detroit Metro kicked off in the summer of 1971. Why ya do me like this, Bruh???
Along with rock, soul, and chicken kickin’ country, this kind of music was more popular than you might suppose at the tape center in one of my Army libraries in Vietnam in 1970. I still have some of the playlists that the soldiers used to order music recorded from albums onto their blank reel to reel tapes. We didn’t call the playlists then though. They were just lists typed from the album covers.
I loved the first installment last year, and this one is a gift too! I've worked in aviation my entire adult life, and while it still certainly has it's moments, it's not exciting/glamorous in the way that earlier era was.
Like so many other things, commercial air travel took a significant turn for the worse in he 80s and went down further from there. Still, I’m so grateful that I got to experience its more glamorous days — even if it also meant getting a whiff of the smoking section!
Gabor Szabo was an absolute genius.
Side note: my Pop introduced me to the elegant guitar work of Wes Montgomery in 1973. Great memories here. Thanks, young feller.
Wes is the best!

Even a stone-cold pimp has to let it out sometime, Doc!

Wow - very cool!
Show us!!! Please!!!
I would, but I can’t figure out how to post a photo to comments, maybe because I’m not a paid subscriber.
No, I don’t think there’s a way to post pics, period - only links.
Love this! I added your list to my Spotify.
Right on, Lori! Enjoy!
