The Phantom Surfers - Andalucía

One of the most important artists in the recent history of rock and roll: musician, designer, producer, record label owner... among many other things. Here we got Johnny Bartlett playing leads on this old song of El Maestro Ernesto Lecuona, Andalucía, also known as 'The Breeze And I', perfectly backed by the great touch of Mel Bergman. This wasn't the best show of the band, but I love deeply this song... and this great guy too, of course. Sala El Sol, Madrid. June 19, 2009.

The Long Ryders - Looking For Lewis And Clark

Mi primo Ignacio me grabó en una cinta esta canción en su casa del Barrio de Bilbao (Madrid) un día cualquiera de los muchos que me iba con él a escuchar música. Luego la escuché varias veces en El Último Refugio, el programa que Luis Mario Quintana (El Profe) hacía en Radio El País. Después le compré este disco ("State Of Our Union") y los demás de los Ryders a Pepe Ugena en Record Runner. Y el 18 de Septiembre de 1986, en la Sala Astoria del Paseo de Extremadura, abarrotada aquel día, me divertí junto a mi primo, sus amigos, y los míos, en el cumpleaños de Syd Griffin, que celebró durante la aquella primera actuación de los Long Ryders en Madrid. Saludos para todos los que vivímos aquellos años en Madrid, y sobre todo, recuerdos para los que los vivieron y ya no están. Ah! y para Syd, que sigue enamorado de España.
