Hard Way - Bradford and Lasso - Ray Davies /Kinks cover

This is a great under-appreciated song by the very talented Ray Davies.
Rick and I have done this song together as far back as 1977 when we were in a northern New Jersey rock band called "Pictures".
However, we had to rearrange it of course to make it work with just two acoustic guitars.
The song has a really positive message. And it says it in a very entertaining way.
We hope you like it.
