Seeing this reminded me - I got on Youtube yesterday & aurally IMBIBED a lot of Taj Mahal. It was like listening to a mystic. It was probably as close as I'll come to a gut - level " spiritual " ( yes, that word does get bandied about quite a bit with reckless abandon ) experience, & I'll probably never see a LIVE performance. B. B. King will be next in queue. I had originally searched for Miles Davis, but Taj Mahal..... a fine nectar that gets better with age, one of a line of Holy Grails.
