Martin Taylor

Martin Taylor – Down At Kokomo’s

I've just heard a great Martin Taylor version of the Odd Couple theme tune over at Helpless Dancer's place and I was reading about former 1950's calypso artist "The Charmer" at Alastair's  you may know The Charmer better by his current monicker - Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam, a bunch of religious fundamental nutjobs a significant black pressure group in the USA .

Anyhoo sometimes seemingly disparate threads can converge and these two elements brought to mind a film I saw of Martin Taylor doing a calypso piece by weaving a piece of card between the strings of his guitar. It recreates a kind of steel drum sound.
