Bla Bla Bla can have to do with anything one could imagine !

Mr. Toots and his Maytals is one of my finest African/Jamaican heroes.

Bit repetitive but I've always enjoyed "The Friends of Mr. Cairo". Very Noir. Very Casablanca.

Toots died in September as I reported. I was surprised that no one else commented.

If New York is so good they named it twice then Bla must be amazing!
