• Searching for some obscure arcana, I managed to come across Fidelitarean. It's a 'blog that hasn't been updated since Christmas of last year, but I thought I'd mention it since whoever created it included a track list of a compilation CD of 50 versions of 'Caravan.'

  I can't remember if I've mentioned this here, but I also made a compilation CD of a bunch of covers of Caravan, called 'Endless Caravan,' and had assumed I was the only one. My CD is only 12 tracks long, so I might have to change the title, since 'endless' is a relative term. However, in all of those 50 tracks, the other guy managed to miss this one: Belmonte And His Afro-American Music. Also the Medeski, Martin, and Wood version, but it's not such a rarity and you should buy it anyway.

  And no, Tej, I haven't forgotten. I'm just lazy.

  Oh, and for the curious:
