Even if this ballad, perhaps, isn`t so well-known I believe that you`ll find
it interesting and funny to play. In my opinion, the entire album "THUNDER IN
THE EAST" is a marvellous one! But I encountered difficulties to get this
album and had to order it from Japan. So if you are fond of a really good
guitar music like this one (and old good eighties), do yourself a favor and
get that album! I tried to do my best on this (Well, I trust my ear but
nobody?s perfect! :)) and here it goes. If any comments or questions, just
feel free to contact me! :o)
