Electric boogaloo song.

The Mt. Airy Groove returns after a week on the left coast (fear not, I'll always prefer Biggie to Tupac).   Got a set for the recently departed Cedar Walton, the consummate sideman who left his mark on countless classic albums.  Plus, a set of California inspired tunes and lots of Stevie Wonder & Michael Jackson...cuz the Saucegirl just turned 40!
