One of my long time Favorite Bad Finger songs. We have been playing this Friday nights accoustically and I just had to give an electric version a shot.
Story behind the song
Always one of my favorite bad finger songs. Shame Pete Ham committed suicide in 1975 to be followed by Tom Evans 8 years later in 1983. I mean how bad could it be right?
