Saturday Scratch #29 - Buddy Raphael

Yesterday was another of those heavy, sultry, humid days, resulting, late in the evening, in a Hammer Horror style mist on the marsh. Difficult to capture on film, but a wonder to behold.


This morning - rain! Lashing down and hopefully clearing the air a little. To celebrate, here's Buddy Raphael's 'The Rain Come' from 1975, recorded at the Black Ark, with Tesfa McDonald sitting in Scratch's producer's chair, and released on McDonald's own Tesfa label.

Yes, that was my forlorn attempt to capture the uncapturable - at least on my little camera. Watching the mist roll around the marsh as if it were alive is quite something.

Keep the brolly handy Old Pa.

Sorry guys just got to share...just lisened to the first side of Vol 10 outside with my Nexus and Blue Ray speakers...I admit I had a couple before...but it bloo! me out...it is brilliant...these folks at CBS must have had a ball, Self P vol 1 could have and should have been a classic. There is enough material for several classic albums....it was a beautiful hour...can't wait to listen to the rest...sorry guys but i had to tell someone...O'Bill
