Re: East LA R&B (question for Skip Heller?)

The Rhino thing is great, especially if you're not trying just to get the straight-up Chicano stuff.

The Arhoolie would have been better if they had less of Don Tosti (tho I love Don) and concentrated more on Lalo Guerrero.

Hey,

This isn't really list material, but what the heck. I figure maybe someone here might be interested or know about this. I'm wondering if people have any thoughts on the "Brown Eyed Soul" set on Rhino from a few years back. I recently heard the song "The Entertainer" by Tony Clarke, which I love, and have long been interested in or a fan of some of the other music that fits in on this set (eg, Johnny Guitar Watson).

Also, any recommendations for old LA R&B or doo-wop, or opinions on the "Pachoco Boogie" comp. on Arhoolie.would be mucho wlecome, offlist or otherwise.

Thanks,
