I can’t swear with 100% certainty that this is what hooked me, but it is rather suspect. Back in 1973, when I was just a little kid in elementary school, the Canadian band, the Downchild Blues Band<\/em>, released its cover of the 1950s R&B hit, Flip, Flop, & Fly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The song was on a 2 album, K-Tel set <\/a>we had in the house, and I nearly wore out the grooves of the record, as my friends and I danced to this remake of a 1950s tune.<\/p>\n

The 24 bar sax solo at 1:45 turned out to be a foreshadowing of things to come. Not only have I been playing this style of music for what seems like forever, but I’ve been playing some version of Flip, Flop, & Fly<\/em> in one band or another, for years as well.<\/p>\n
