I've been playing this song for years, but I never actually wrote it down to send it in until now. The best memory I have of this song is when Jimmy did it acoustic both nights at Irvine Meadows in Irvine, CA on the '94 Fruitcakes tour. Anyhoo, Enjoy! Bill Schofield (and Caroline) [email protected]
