Yea...that is real nice. The extra part after the vocal breaks it up.

Oh, so your a Little Feet fan! I got to share a green room and play on stage with Craig Fuller a few years ago. He's a real nice guy and no he didn't play "Amy" that night! That would have been a bucket list thing for me since I think that his guitar solo in that song is one of the best acoustic solos ever!

Nice!  I love Little Feat. I have had the glorious honor being guitar tech for Paul Barrere and Fred Tackett a year ago and again last fall. My girlfriend works with Fred's Daughter 's non profit. Rock n' Roll Royalty they are! Man I loved Lowell's music, and the the band. Rest in peace Richie and Lowell*

I was just enjoying this in my car today while driving around town, from your CD Mark.

It's so delightful!
