Message Detail:
One of the nice things that happened to me, while saluting this song with a snippet, Jerry Plunk (drummer, lead-singer), contacted little ole' me!!! Wow!! I thought it was a joke! Even told his wife, Julie, someone credited another for Jerry's singing, boy, was she upset. Glad I wasn't Joel Whitburn!! (smile). Anyway, I was, as usual, disappointed in the (1992) remastering of this favorite song! I contacted George Horn at Fantasy Studio's (Berkley, CA) and mentioned the ill sound quality (not done by George, but still) doesn't say much as far as great remastering!! I fixed it some, but needs a major overhaul. Stereo would be nice, too, (as on vinyl album). Going to try to obtain tape, maybe do a better digital transfer, but doubt that I will be given the chance.

Was NICE to hear a bit more of this song, the ending is longer, more than on the single and album!! THAT much, I do appreciate!!!

I do thank Bob and Jim for their nice comments. Fine music deserves fine sound.
