Aye, because someone held a gun to his head and forced him to do it.

Okay Toes I get it, you're more of an old hippy than me. I'll never be cool or know what I like without re-education.
Many thanks.

Who forced him? It was their choice, simply to reach a much wider audience to make money.

I'm a big fan of Carlos Santana and have been since the early 70s. He achieved his huge fan base without producing pap for the No 1 singles market.

Age has nothing to do with it. I am very well acquainted with Santana and have been all my life thanks to Abraxas being one of my Dad's favourite albums.

Eeek! Is that you, Erin? Are you my daughter?

[erin-x]

If you're drunk and playing the guitar right now you might well be, HC ;-)

Toes - do you like the Afro Cuban Allstars ?

[Toes]

Answer, not heard of them, but will go on youtube and have a listen,

Oye Como Va - the first piece of rock music I ever picked up on - Abraxas is the first rock album I ever bought.

I interviewed Cindy Blackman Santana on Thursday for Drummer Magazine, she is lovely, and I saw her play with Spectrum Road, what a musician!

Carlos holds a special place for me as my start of my long and increasing passion for music, which has made me a wonderful hobby as a writer, and got me to places like Montreal, which is where I am typing this!!!
