Here's the second one we did at the Winterland Studios. You'll hear Greg Connor on guitar and vocals, Colin W. on bass and vocals and Randy C. on piano. This was a blast! I think this is definitely the best version yet of this song.

I created this track after uncovering the bassline first, realising it was one of those riffs that could go on and on. I didn't get bored of it so must be ok! Then came the hard work of writing something interesting over it. The main melody came…
