"It's an album I got many years ago by Taj Mahal and, err, it's called 'Music Fuh Ya”.and it also has a subtitle called 'Musica Para Tu’. 

It's a sparkly sort of collection of songs, er, Taj Mahal playing his unique style - of guitar playing and singing but also with - keyboards adnd stuff a band that consists of marimbas and saxophones and the normal sort of band set up of bass and a lot of vocals. But its an album I got many years ago and it's really hard to find now... nowadays.. but it exists and err I just find it very tuneful and humurous. Like one of the songs is just the word "curry" repeated over and over again over this lovely riff of saxophones and marimbas playing together and steel drums. So it's just beautiful. 

It was sort of outside my sphere of music really so I don't know whether it inspired me in anyway to - for my writing but I just found it a comfort you know."
