Oh my heart thumps on the south coast,the wind feels like angels kissing your neck...sort of 'dreamy'' you know,and the sweat was running down the windows of Concorde 2...too much information.It was Root's on the beach,rum in the tum.

This is sounding cool and breezy - is it from the 60s? I like Flora Purim but I only know all the ethnic-smocks-and-acid fusion-y stuff from the mid 70s onward. Her and Airto used to be a regular fixture at Ronnies. Did you ever get round the corner to see them? I haven't caught them since the 90s but they were still sounding pretty good back then.
