The song was written for Riccardo — has had been busted outside VBG the week before. His son Juanito was the percussionist.We had a ball making it and yes the band and the club brought allot of great people and times to AK and the late 80’s — 90’s.Kane and Mark did a great job.Remember the annoying click Mark? Matai.

Thanks for finding this. I think it also won Jazz Album of the Year that year?

I have nothing but fond memories of doing this. It was just a fabulous adventure. And those guys were just awesome.

And by all means re-release it.

You are totally right about the disappearing NZ musical heritage 60’s-90’s, especially photographically. We were before the Google cache.

Perhaps some co-ordinated effort could be made via NZONAIR or Te Papa to collect/curate it? For me Flying Nun is as important to our heritage as NZ’ers as any socio/political event of the last 40 years.

Anyway, thank you again for this. made my day.
