A timeless piece of music, and it suits todays weather in Sydney.

Ws all miss Marc, but thanks to the electronic age we can all still enjoy his remarkable voice.

What a great bass player Todd Hunter is -- the entire band obviously knew their way around their instruments, but Todd Hunter's bass always complements the song, and often does things you wouldn't expect. He is rhythmic and melodic, and noone sits on a note through chord changes better than Todd Hunter -- you think he'll change the note but he doesn't!

Such a cool song, band, vibe....

Marc's live vocal is straight up on the money

[heatherdaydream]

This song is so deliciously laid back....

Marc....sigh

[chameleonfrog1]

They should have taken the World by storm. Damn those drugs. They stuffed their chance in Texas
