Saturday Matinee – Obama, Dinah, Oliva & Traffic

Before we proceed with today’s entertainment, here’s a message from The President. [h/t Willzone]

Let’s crank up some vintage Dinah Washington, shall we? [h/t coldwarrior]

Someone else suggested a nice fistfulla salsa, so here it is.

Traffic from 1972. Great jazz-rock stuff, and it wasn’t pretentious at all, just nice rhythm and grooves. (Okay, it was kinda pretentious, but it was cool at the time.)

Have a great weekend folks, and be back here tomorrow for more fun.

Good stuff Bunky!!! Loved the Traffic tune and Dinah Washington was just awesome!!! Can you imagine the current rap/hip-hop/gangsta “music” ever being as timeless as that???? Give me the oldies anytime!!!!!

Tattoo Jim– What’s scary is that there are some who consider Run DMC as “oldies.”
