Wes Montgomery "Bumpin' On Sunset"

I can only imagine my Mom winding around the hills of Pennsylvania in 1966 in her convertible green Triumph two seater listening to Wes Montgomery's "Bumpin' On Sunset." In my mind its filled with moving 35mm slides of all the Kodachrome colors imaginable.  My many early music memories and interests come from her piano and love of music.
Happy Birthday Mom.

If you haven't heard the song listen to it here.
 It was originally released on the album Tequila on the Verve label.
