According to this [Youtube video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CJDUcyYYO8) the song is called Love Is Blind. It’s supposedly a “classic blues rumba song” but I can’t find anything else about it. Can anyone provide some background?

By the way, doesn’t it sound a lot like [Just Dropped In](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhOKhJaM1QE)?

I’m intrigued as well.

It does sound like “Just Dropped In” and the Cantina Band.

Sounds to me like a rip-off of the much-covered B.B. King standard “[Help the Poor](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1GcOgGdcBk).”

David R Reo claims to be the writer of the song.

I don’t think it is really a classic song in the usual sense. I think he meant to say that it is a song he wrote in the style of a “classic blues rumba song.”

Thanks for that info! Now I’m wondering if he put that note on there to stave off insinuations that he cribbed the tune from Kenny.

In any case, thanks again.
