Bob Wood's excellent lyric set to music.
This collaboration was started a while ago, but the finished result made the wait worthwhile.
Excellent performances from everyone, and again a special shout out to Nick for the wonderful mixes. It was especially nice to have Nick on guitars.
Two versions are posted, one with NickT's guitar solo, and other with Morsekode's cool guitar solo.
