Mayer Hawthorne’s got the Vegas soul sound down

Those that caught Mayer Hawthorne at the grand opening of the Cosmopolitan know what I’m talking about.  He’s also keenly aware that in showbiz, and for that matter in life, a man is the clothes that he wears.

 

Mayor’s “Maybe So, Maybe No” gets me every time.

Ooohhh…
Maybe so, maybe no

Could it be that your love was meant for me
Maybe so, maybe no
Could it be that your love was meant for me
Maybe so, maybe no

I don’t know what lead me to your love,
Was it faith or destiny
Oh, either angels from above
Smiling down on you and me

La la laaaaa la la laaaaa la la la la la
Like birds of a feather
Here we are together

Could it be that your love was meant for me
Maybe so, maybe no
Could it be that your love was meant for me
Maybe so, maybe no

Why does time go by so fast now
When I’m here with you
Don’t know why minutes seem like hours
When I’m away from you

La la laaaaa la la laaaaa la la la la la

I’m not sure if it’s really real now
Is it a dream or maybe a game
All I know since I lost you girl
My life hasn’t been the same

Now everyday we grow closer together

It’s that time of the year again, and again I’m already tired of the the same old versions of familiar holiday jingles.  So, here’s a few album covers that caught my eye as I flipped through stacks of vinyl searching for yuletide gems.   Pile these on your turntable and they’re sure to stir things up.

Happy Holidays.

Tiki Dreams in Las Vegas

In my dreams I’m back at the Aku Aku sipping a Scorpion Bowl for two with a girl I just met named Sue.  It’s warm.  The Polynesian rhythms are intoxicating.   As I look deep into her almond shaped eyes I realize I’m not dreaming.  I’m at Frankie’s Tiki Room.  I ask her, “What’s your name?”  She says,“Does it matter?”
