This was recorded on June 1, 1990 in Wilkesboro, NC. I posted this as a tribute to Sammy Thornton who was the bassist for Reno. He is singing the lead vocal on this tune. Sammy left us on October 14, 2003. He was a good musician and friend and is sorely missed. This one goes out to you, Samsonite!

Those were the days my friend! At least we know, if there's a "Rock & Roll" heaven, they have a hell of a bass player. Rest easy Samonite.
