Yet another remake of an oldie. I'd fantasized for years about how this song could be better, so I am slightly disappointed in this. I just don't play guitar well enough to do what I want, and I guess I never will.

Gary Thompson from the Music by Computer yahoo list (aka Johnny Pumphandle) remixed me version 2 of Sweeny's Agony - and blew me away - by toning down the volume he brought out a lot more soul in my opinion. I love it - and I hope you do too.
