She has tastes though with the tunes you mention. Jimmy Fraser is one of those you had to be around at the time it was played records to like , just like some of the Casino stuff that has been mentioned 1

Ed Expand So had to be around 78/79/80 - I remember it being sold in record bars and maybe 1st hour set or even setting up system set - just because it was different or the same as HB - it’s 1968 so may have been played at the wheel
