As per, my smooth brain just filters out lyrics so that’s lost on me but the band (which allmusic points out include members of the Dap-Kings, Antibalas, and El Michels Affair) really swings and the guitar parts are funky as hell. If the vocals aren’t your thing, look for the digital-only instrumental version, "Seahorse & The Storyteller Instrumentals & Echoes Of Avramina EP”, which qobuz has, so I assume other places do too.

I end up craving Sean Lennon’s “Asterisms” album ( https://www.allmusic.com/album/asterisms-mw0004180789) enough in the evening that I’ve started drilling into the musicians on it and the first one to stick has been Michael Leonhart, trumpet player and leader in his own right, whose “Seahorse and the Storyteller” ( https://www.allmusic.com/album/seahorse-and-the-storyteller-mw0001977904) I’ve had on all weekend.

🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️ 🚶🏽♂️
🏁 what I’m considering Portola, bound by 280, San Bruno Ave (or 101 I guess?), Mansell St, McLaren Park, and uh, the Excelsior? The north ridge of Visitacion Knob?
Poor winter weather, always a two-bus transfer to get there and to get back, and strava glitching out by 101 more than once made this take a long time to complete.
I also started biking weekdays for cardio instead of walking, so I had to put off the far corner for weekends.

I have finally walked all of the portola.
A five mile (eight kilometer), 761 foot (232 meter) elevation walk over one and a half hours in San Francisco, California. About 10100 steps.
