Sounds awesome Alex...really tight...I was looking at old Smithereens songs and found this! Very very cool. I saw them once in the 80's...great band!

[einaroneeye]

Excellant choice-this is a great track. Both parts are sounding really good, the bass tone is nice. Saw these guys twice in the late 90s early 00s and they seriously kicked ass both times. You've got it going on here! Cheers!

@einaroneeye WOW that is cool you got to see them. I'll bet they kicked ass!! Rock on!! \m/
