Washing machine has been on the fritz the last 2 weeks so had to go to the laundromat. Learned, recorded and mastered this in the car before the clothes had to go into the dryer. All done on the Br80 using the built in mics.
1 Guitalele/vocal (stereo)
1 guitalele solo (stereo)

I went to see Thompson Twins when I was in school, in Bristol. This was around Love on you Side era. I wasn't in school in Bristol, you understand, I just went there to see Thompson Twins. On a bus / school trip. I was in school on the other side of the Severn, in Newport.
But I don't know this one either.
Once again I applaud your ability to nail these covers down. In the space of one wash cycle and sitting in the car.
Respect dude.

I saw the Thompson Twins at Uni before they were famous (very early 80's) - they were a 7 piece band then, and spent their time dancing around cabbage leaves - I thought they were very strange, and never thought that they would become so successful!
Brother - why do I have a picture of you in my head of a video of you playing/performing this in the laundrette, with all the cloths spinning around in time ????? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
This has captured a great sound and performance - love this track. Awesome work.

You crack me up.
Great take on this with a tasty melodic solo to boot. You work so fast. You're going to have to be my spirit guide when you come up, so I can be content with something half as good as this. Looking forward to it.
When I say spirit guide, I am envisioning you in a bear costume...more Smokey than Yogi.
