thatmusicguy 10-19-2007, 11:30 AM Maestro and I were talkin'; this came up.
What's you're secret (well I guess it won't be so secret) weapon; the song that when you put on, you know everyone is saying "Damn, I haven't heard that song in ages"...What a great song!!

thatmusicguy 10-19-2007, 03:32 PM Great Songs Jeff...Johnny Tulloch...fast or slow...As good as the Fables? (that has to be my fav right now)
Jeff Romard 10-19-2007, 03:45 PM It starts off with talking I usually cue it in about 15 seconds or so. Its fast and with the right crown it works very well. I like it as much or more than Heave away
RaskyKat 10-19-2007, 04:02 PM Not sure this would work for everyone. But I played it for a HS reunion for the class of '72 a couple weeks ago. I put it on and one guy stood up and yelled, "Great song! Turn it up! I haven't heard this in forever!"
This song was the first song I remember hearing for weeks at a time on the radio. I loved it then and still do. What do you guys think about it?
