Life's Soundtrack. Captain Beefheart - Old Folks Boogie {1966}


I'm not a big fan of Captain Beefheart except for 'Safe as Milk'.  I first heard that album a long, long time ago during what might be termed my 'stoner years', my favourite tracks being Zig Zag Wanderer and Autumn's Child.  Unfortunately I had to leave that fertile soil in order to 'earn a living'.  Such a shame when that happens.  I wonder what would ensue if we could all just not have to do that.  But that's a whole other conversation.
This song comes from the Safe as Milk era and I don't think I'd ever heard it before it cropped up on Youtube today, along with ads for funeral plans and stairlifts.
