Santana

Oh, yeah.

The answer is Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas.

Yeah.

And I tend to believe this.

[laughs]

[laughs] But they're discussing Santana the band and how it's named after the guitarist, and they're just so perplexed by how did...

You know, how did Santana get them to name the band after him?

That's right.

And he's like, "Maybe he's just a badass."

He was right.

Yeah, and I love that too because obviously they know where Santana was in 1999.

I mean, he had just recorded Smooth with Rob Thomas.

...

the Santanas.

Okay, let's go back to the beginning.

Okay, so you were born in Ohio, November 18th, 1959, in Yellow Springs, Ohio.

Decade-plus of handling it.

[laughs]

The Santanas.

Um, wait, so before that, how did you first meet Carlos Santana?

show yeah me too that's the only reason I sat through the Nelsons you know you know because the Nelsons really didn't do an awful lot for me but the end of every show there was Ricky out in the garage with his band doing a number it was like that was worth waiting for you know like But yeah, so yeah, so I've got, anyway, digress a little.

I will say one thing about that with Santana, I think if there was a level Hendrix would have had like a consistent, it could have been Santana level.

Like he could have gotten the niche, big enough niche to carry him through no matter what the times were, you know, and continue, like Santana always kept a certain level.

They've never kind of gone down commercially.

Hendrix could have done that, I think.

So that was that 70s, Can't Buy a Thrill, Mad Dogs, Van Morrison, Hotel California, Braxis, Intercaravans.

So, I mean, Braxis was the first thing, I think.

No, it might have been just Santana with the black and white pen drawing.

Yeah.

And then there's another song called Smooth by Santana.

Smooth

over.
