Caryn's in Bolivia Again...reflections

 As long time fans no doubt know that I am interested in fictional bands celebrated in song.  

BTW, my top 5:

1. Uncle John's Band

2. Sultans of Swing

3. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

4. Benny and the Jets

5. Alexander's Ragtime Band


This tune (CLICK HERE FOR THE SONG) celebrates a band with no name who is missing their lead singer. Similar to "We Lost Our Drummer in Guangzhou" the song also has some geographical and tourist information. Part of the Don's Basement mission is to educate as well as entertain. Also to take up time between lunch and dinner. 

As usual there is blatant plagiarism-- stealing a line from Deja Vu, a 1970 thing from C, S, N,Y, T &R


Joey....




When they asked him why it had to be that way, “Well,” he answered
“Just because”


As very astute...and very few fans will notice the use of The Blues Brothers and Animal from the Muppet Show in both Guangzhou and Bolivia. They are video gifts  (gifs) that keep on giving.

I followed a song structure from the Internet so you know it's valid.


For those who are heat challenged today, here is the forecast for La Paz this week.


Thanks for watching. Forward to a friend....
