Quite a number is 13. It has a bad rap at times – for example, certain hotels exclude it’s presence due to superstitious guests. In the 50’s and 60’s, it’s coded letter equivalent “M” (the 13th letter of the alphabet)was a slang term for pot amongst the heads and beatniks. Here at Meatskull, it’s a cause for celebration as it’s the current volume of the Well Turned Out series of compilations and for you, that means another bunch of great tunes to enjoy.
