what time is it now?

i will only accept an answer from leep!

thanks!  and leep, please keep the link to the mp3 up for a while longer.

It is currently 8:33pm where I'm at.

I will keep up the mp3 for awhile.

I might as well use this space to explain why the recording doesn't
sound that great...

I read your original message and then tuned in to Conan that night to
listen to the music you described.  Right before the music played, I
realized that I might not have been able to ID the song on one listen.
 Not having a videotape ready, I grabbed my mini-cassette recorder and
used it to record the music.

Normally, somewhere around here I have a male-to-male cord that allows
me to plug one end into a headphone jack (like the one on the
mini-cassette recorder) and the other end into the Sound In jack of my
computer.  However, the cord seems to be missing (that's one reason I
didn't put up the music right away).  Thus, I had to transfer the
music clip from the mini-cassette recorder to my computer with the use
of a mic.   I then slightly edited the resulting mp3.  I hope it is
useful in locating the song name/group!

thank you very much!  as you can tell, your recording was what was
needed for a timely answer.  i really really appreciate your help in
this.  the next hope that i had was waiting around for terry gross to
play it on another one of her shows and link to one of the archived
shows of fresh air.

anyhow, i appreciate everything and it was also nice knowing exactly
how you went about getting the song clip up.  im so happy you had the
foresight to record it with your recorder!

thank goodness!

keep on groovin

banchan-ga,

the song is Grazin in the Grass by Hugh Masekela.  Listen to it here:

Sorry - I see it was already answered in another post.
