It's kinda like that feeling when you find that authentic great combo plate at a one-of-kind-cool-hole-in-the-wall Mexican food joint out in Downtown Riverside. La Calavera and his novia were just chillin' the other night, sampling records found packed away collecting dust, hidden in the dark corners of the garage, stacked underneath a vast amount of boxes that have been labled with the sharpie, and left alone to be forgotten. In one particular box, La Calavera's novia found a Quincy Jones/ Bill Cosby combo (this is where my analogy kicks in). The sound of the two is classic. Hikky-Burr was the orignal theme to the Bill Cosby Show. The instrumentals in the track are great and the scat singin'/ nonsense words of Bill Cosby add to the whole piece. La Calavera has heard that hikky-burr is la palabra used for the feeling one gets when one's going at it solo! wink wink, nudge nudge, kick in the ass. Anyway, this latino will now digress and let you, my faithful invisible reader, listen to that sound of which La Calavera speaks of. Enjoy. (this is where those digital crates come in, gracias youtube)
