Caught me off guard.
Always liked this tune. First heard it around 1972. Had the “Thembi” album and later, the cassette. Where is Leon Thomas these days?

There was a moment during the show where he grabbed a rubber chicken and some sort of big metal ring and started improvising music with that! It seemed (to me at least) a completely on the spot moment of invention. Amazing…Thanks for the curve-ball!
