##### Song of the Month:  "Strange Brew" by Eric Clapton and Felix Pappalardi

*Editor’s note:  Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker were a trio that lasted only three years together (1966 to 1968) yet remain one of my favorite bands ever.  Like Jimi Hendrix and The Doors, they were at the forefront of my early teenage garage band days.  This particular song is unique for its African/jazz-rooted beat, bluesy words and Clapton taking lead singing duties over Bruce.  Hope you enjoy.*

 

Favorite lyrics:

“She’s a witch of trouble in electric blue

In her own mad mind, she’s in love with you.”
