Makes me feel 12 again! Love the song, but feels like they are pushing the beat just a smidge. I like the trad version, felt like the drummer was sitting on the one in the ortiginal. What say you?

Eugene Jelesnik is an oft overlooked influence in keeping the State of Utah’s in migration at low levels through a brilliant strategy of using local musical acts to enhance the “Utah is weird and backward ” national theme of the late 20th century.
Where is the Eugene Jelesnik we need today?
Okay Ma-ake, you started us down this horrible slippery slope. This is terrible and I am so, so sorry for posting this.

Then I am in a dark place, I will listen to the Doors and Depeche Mode. It doesn’t get me out of the funk, but a little self loathing never hurt…too much.

The Guess Who was the first concert I attended at the Salt Palace convention center as a 7th grader in 1970.

Just clear this up. I posted for @salute ’s post on your thread and couldn’t elliminate my comment about the tempo of the BTO song. Never meant to imply you, or your musc is a “wrong post.”
I thought I might have posted an erroneous ghost post .
My internet skills are sometime lacking. I like your musical contributions.
My apologies for poor tech skills. The butterfly comment made it seem even worse. It took me 3 days t realize I might have slighted you.
