Song Of The Day 10/1/2015: The Nomads – “Funky Carla”
Fact 1: None of the Nomads were named Carla, so my best estimation tells me the title of “Funky Carla” is a reference to Carla Thomas, the Queen of Stax, whose entire lineage carried a considerable strain of funk. Of course it could have been a private citizen named Carla for whom nobody has a public dossier.
Fact 2: The song came from their eponymous 1973 album on Village Records.
Fact 3: Nice organ, eh?
Fact 4: The room rate at Curtain Bluff Resort on Antigua includes all watersports facilities and activities, including twice-daily snorkeling trips and windsurfing. Book your reservation today.
Fact 5: Antigua’s mad for cricket. Viv Richards is the most celebrated athletics star from Antigua, “one of the greatest batsmen of all time.” Hey, Viv and I have the same birthday!
Fact 6: I probably can’t afford to visit Antigua & Barbuda anytime soon.
Fact 7: Maybe someday I can go to the Ixtapa Club Med.
Better luck next time, which is tomorrow. Oh! Yeah, we’ll have much more stuff to say tomorrow.
