Some say Franco changes his guitar playing as time progressed but i absolutely disagree. Franco was at the center of this unit and it was through his creativity that TP OK survived that long . I can not imagine the music would have been this good without his influence especially his string playing his voice and the way he arranged the band. Songs like Mario and Mamou can never be copied to the same standard because he played in them although they sound simple enough they are not.

@Zappowx The song tells the story of who woman who does not want to find her own husband. She prefers married men and the song is warning that kind of women. This kind of stories never ends well.The title means : "Stop asking"
