Sorry for typo Rockpile 99

My favourite song today is by Tito Puente. I saw him at the North Sea Jazz Festival where he told about this song. It was a world wide hit for Santana and at every gig people asked him to play “that S...

Here’s my favorite for today... @mattbeels Hey Matt. It's Foo Fighters meets Kiss. 😁 🎶🙏🎸🙂

I like Squid, the singer sounds like David Byrne with a hot pepper up his ass! 😂 Hi @mattbeels They're a quirky bunch of guys......just like Mr Byrne. The Drummer is the main vocalist too. ...
