It was a time just before the Hippies when jazz ruled and people would get their ascot around their necks. Rockers and Mods, later Ray Davies and the Kinks.<BR/>Yep, 99 Burning is cutting edge, but a little bit retro.<BR/>Now, can they do the work? No time for bad writers and unskilled guitarits. Everything old is new again, but with a twist. Easy enough to play in the key of D, but you have to augment, like Van Dyke<BR/>Parks would augment the Beach Boys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
