Adrienne was cleaning the oven. The least I could do was act as DJ for the evening. I had found a Lee Hazlewood CD at the local library, so we started off with a few tracks from that. Which took us to V Balsara and his Singing Sitars doing “These Boots Are Made For Walkin’” (I would have gone straight into Einsturzende Neubauten’s cover of “Sand” but my copy is missing, presumed dead), which took us deeper into V Balsara and his version of “Tequila”; which, naturally, led us to the same song as done by Manuel and the Music of the Mountains, and then to Manuel doing “The Girl From Ipanema”, “Quando Quando Quando” and “Quizas, Quizas, Quizas”; from which we moved on to a bracket of Martin Denny in supper-club mode, performing various Bacharach numbers; and rounding out the session with a Klaus Wunderlich Hammond Organ medley including “Strangers In The Night” and the theme from “A Man And A Woman”.
Just another Saturday night in Canberra.
