I got an entire box of LPs for free at an estate sale recently. I was there as it was ending and they said the charity they donate the leftovers to would not even take records– they go in the trash!

Anyway, I was going through them seeing what might be worth keeping and what would go to our local thrift, playing stuff that looked interesting. As I was working in the studio, I was playing a bluegrass record by David Grisman called "Dawg" and was suddenly struck dumbfound when a familiar melody came out of the speakers. They do a cover of "Caravan"!!!

I like all kinds of music, and like stuff that crosses genres– or transcends them... but I never thought I'd hear a bluegrass version of an exotica classic! This belongs on one of the "Exotic Trilogy" disks.

If I'm ever able to figure out the technology, I'll post a mpeg of this gem. If anyone else knows of weird or obscure exotica covers, I'd love to know about them. I may be passing over goodies in the bins at the thrifts.
