Been a minute...
It's been a while. I think I came down with a case of procrasti-lazy-bloggitis/aria. I have caught up on a few more reads and happened on some CDs that forever dotted my trip to shaggz with mine mater. I now own:
The Rough Guide to Franco: Africa's Legendary Guitar Maestro
and
The Very Best of the Rumba Giant of Zaire [Audio CD] Franco
Don't know whether it was conditioning which happened aforehand in my younger years cooped up in a car on a looooooooooooong ride to my grandparents but somehow, I now don't seem to mind Franco's music. The shady bone in me is quite inspired to acquire this one too. Considering artist on songs #1 and 6 was a constant fixture in my uncle's ride. As for reads, here's what I've been delving into:

Yeah, you said it right. There is something nostalgic about Franco and the TPOK Jazz Band. Whenever i listen to the music i recall when i was alittle boy. But my peers think i am just an antique idiot... but i love Franco regardless
