An experiment in Green. I've been kicking these kinds of ideas around for a while and have recently had the chance to try them out. All instruments double tracked by me with Igor Crull doing the sound engineering. This version is a revision of an earlier mix with a new part added and another deleted.

My wife, Cathi took a phone video of an impromptu performance at Moy Eng's house party. Moy wanted to do a duet, OK, then she wanted to do "You Go To My Head" in B - what is it about singers and keys? Still, it turned out pretty good.
