A blog about world and global music from a guy who co-hosts the KUNM Global Music Show, 89.9 FM Albuquerque/Santa Fe, http://www.kunm.org. I post one song a day, with reflections on the music, life, and whatever else comes into my mind.

Let the Good Times Roll: Link Davis and "Bon-Ta-Ru-La"
The random song for today is a bit of a throwback. Bon-Ta-Ru-La (Let the Good Times Roll) is by Link Davis, a singer, fiddler, saxophonist, harmonica player and songwriter. Born in Texas , he was active in western swing, hillbilly, Cajun music, rockabilly, rock and roll and blues as session artist or main musician and became associated with the Houston music scene. He died in 1972. Bon-Ta-Ru-La (Let the Good Times Roll) can be found on the 1997 album Let the Good Times Roll, a greatest hits album. The original was released in 1958 as a single.
