Still puts me back in the Garden, especially when they hit that transition/ turn that corner that leads back into the lyrics.

Okay, DiPs 20 has 9/25 and this. Just voted for 9/25 by accident -- that one's good too/ deserves votes -- but I like how this one snaps and bounces, and especially how Bob splices in a few chord chops from the earlier part -- before the fare thee well now verse.

Yeah, some of those 77s have been camping in my yard for many years now; they know how to party and help with the chores.

They just played it on gdradio.com After the We Bid ended I had to fire it up again on Relisten and it's probably the same source you're listening to. I can't tell the difference. Sometimes the Miller is better. Anyway, yeah def one that stands out... Feyline Roadhouse for a while there...right on
