“Peanuts – Friends – Music” At the National Peanuts Festival in Dothan, Alabama. Check out “Little Miss Peanut”! (I was thinking it was odd that the cover features 1968’s “Alternate Queen” — maybe the winning Peanut Queen was found to have posed in the raw.) Features the anthem “Here’s to the Peanut,” a rollicking sing-a-long ode to the glorious goober!

“Juicy” Willie Bobo. Verve. Another great one from 1967. Includes the title tune and funky Latin soul/jazz covers of sixties hits including “Music to Watch Girls By,” “Knock On Wood,” “Ain’t to Proud to Beg,” “Mercy, Mercy, Mercy”. Bobo played bongo, timbales, conga, and trap-drum and after stints with Machito, Mongo Santamaria, Perez Prado, Tito Puente, George Shearing, Cal Tjader and Herbie Mann helped pioneer the Boogaloo sound.

It’s July 19th and hot as hell in New York City. Everyone is in the park with their little grills, bags of coal and coolers of beer. I’m inside listening to “Music to Barbecue By” and dreaming of fat, juicy T-Bones and Porterhouse steaks, corn on the cob and baked potatoes. This Lp was put out by Monitor Records and Adolph’s steak sauce and tenderizer “For your personal enjoyment all summer long”.
