mendocino

Cacahuata aka 'Peanut Polka' last week led me to some Doug Sahm music, which led me to Mendocino. A minor hit for Sahm and his Sir Douglas Quintet; the German version by Michael Holm was the best selling single in Germany for 1969!
The German audience was required to clap. Some of the people after 2:00 aren't looking real happy about it.
