The only reason excuse I have to go to Escondido is to hit thrift stores and fight the tweekers for the good stuff. As is usually the case our efforts filled the trusty 1995 Ford Aspire to the brim. My favorite item of the day is Don Ho/Oral Roberts collaborative effort. Titled "Oral Roberts in Hawaii", This album is Oral Roberts subtle way of forewarning his followers of impending doom. I had to open it up, and there he was, Don Ho, credited with "My God and I", a depressing little ditty delivered in Don Ho's trademark style, a slightly slurred delivery with a haunting harmonica and horn chorus. Not sure how liquored up he had to get to do this one. No date on this album but I am guessing early to mid 70s, anyone know? From the song: Now here I stand in Levis A boy (incoherent) a man My eyes on the sky And I understand Theres trouble in California We know the earthquakes overdue My God and I will get through So can you Will you sing it with me now la la la la la . . . . . . .

My eyes on the sky
And I understand

Theres trouble in California
We know the earthquakes overdue
My God and I will get through
So can you
Will you sing it with me now
