Notes
A little wednesday morning blooze for ya on two different '63 birds.

Very special thanks to dearest Lin Crowson at Gruhn Guitars for breathing some new life into this wounded old bird.

Dig this great old 90's power pop....getting guitars THIS loud in a mix where they don't hurt at all is no easy feat. Brilliant track
