Get out of my house!
A really quick post before I have to run into work.
Today’s track is once again from an Original Music release, Siya Hamba! 1950s South African Country And Small Town Sounds, a compilation of popular music in South Africa at the time.
I agree with the liner notes when they refer to the 1950s as the glory days of South African music. Upbeat rhythms with wonderful female lead vocals were just a couple of the highlights of the era.
I should say at least that the title of today’s track appropriately translates into the title of today’s post. I’d go on but I can’t be late today! I’m sure that, as always, Benn loxo listeners will fill in the gaps where needed in the comments.
So enjoy this smalltown jump as I fly out the door…

Another cool SA CD to check out is marabi to disco. It covers the period from the 40’s thru the 80’s.

I think most of the music on the original Marabi CD was reissued on a History of Township compilation in 2002

I hate that, when you run into work. And sometimes, even worse, work runs into you! Hurts either way.
