Been a fan of this song from the first time I heard it.
I'm going to an open mic night near my house & I had already decided this is one of the songs I would do.
Obviously, I have to skip that massive solo section in the middle. I do a couple things to evoke that Spanish guitar part, but there's nothing I can do with the electric guitar & sax solos. So, my version is shorter.
I just love the picture he paints with those lyrics.
