Thanks fro turning me onto Taj Mahal Marc. He's the real deal.

I love this Youtube clip. Does anybody know what the song is and on what album i could find it?

It does a strong resemblance to a tune called Tom and Sally Drake, on a live album from 1972 called "The Real Thing"...It's also on a 2004 release of an old concert called "Live in San Francisco '66", and a couple of other albums that look like they might be compilations ... or at least that's what my search of ITunes shows.
	Marc Nerenberg says: 2/3/2011 6:18:00 PM Well, I just checked the song samples, and the song called Tom and Sally Drake on the San Francisco album is something different (huh?) ... The "Real Thing" version is a banjo and tuba duet!
