I love pretty much everything Leo Kottke does - this is such a jaunty, happy tune, and deceptively difficult to play! (Think octopus-fingers.) He's an astonishing guitarist....  |

Not really my style and therefore seems rather overplayed IMO. I am sure if I loved it I would be happy to hear it so often. You win some you loose some eh?

lol when that came out we were trying to figure out who and what and how many people were on that record just to find it was "just" Leo, saw him at Armadillo World Headquarters and he had a badly cut finger and still blew us away |
