Great duo...what's Bobbie's last name?

 

Bobbie McFerrin. And thanks, nice show.

I do love Taj Mahal, and they are so great together.

Wow, I had no idea McFerrin sung like that! 

 

I guess I stopped at "Don't worry, be happy".....!  

 

Thanks!

A common mistake; See Barenaked Ladies  --  One Week

I wasn't at that show, but I saw Taj Mahal that same night in a different venue.

I used to mistakenly think Bobby McFerrin was a one hit wonder, then I stumbled across is 1984 album, The Voice.  He's an amazing talent, and I've yet to hear a record of his that is anything less than great.

McFerrin was a Bay Area sensation for quite a while, but I always wished he'd get away from the vocal histrionic/showoffy stuff and just sing more.

I saw Taj Mahal at a tiny bar in NH once...it's not listed on an archive list...it was something like the white horse tavern in milford, NH, in the late 80's.  It was so small, we talked, requested songs, had a great time.  Very low-key.  

good to see McFerrin's talents ~ I had pegged him as a one-hit wonder.  Now I know better!

KeseyB - What a cool place to see Taj ! I'm surprised I didnt know about that at the time . I used to go to the White Horse

all the time to see local bands . They also had the best clam chowder that I've never found an equal to ...

I worked at a water park in 1984. The worker appreciation party included a Taj Mahal show.

They provided food and lots of kegs. Nancy Reagan was not aware. Lol!

Mark/Thibes...yeah, it was in the late 80's....I don't think half the audience knew who he was....!  I should look through old journals to find the date....
