Hurt flips a few pages and looks up at Keitel and says, "These are all the same" and Harvey puts his hand on the page to stop him from flipping it and says, "That's because you're going too fast."
He then starts to talk about the people in each photo....
You gotta listen, think, hear. There is more to music than what you hear sometimes. Nice post, oldsaxon. |

I wouldn't really know since I've never spoken with the composer(s) of this tune, but generally, recorded music is not a form of conversation. Nice groove. |
