I liked it…but not amazingly. It is good background music. It seems a lot of musicians have been passing away recently.
1960’s and 70’s early country rock. The guy was good though and a Burrito song was the appropriate tribute. You are right, lots of great ones leaving us.
Hi,
It is a great song, with a good beat, it is sad when we lose yet another good artist.
One of the pioneers. Quite the list he played with. One of the members of heavens allstars now
