    Wow! Love the video editing and sound and lighting. The musicianship is amazing. “I was like, I’m kinda familiar with this song.” Then I watched the video and LLB taught me so much more about the intricacies of this tune than I imagined. The close up of the musicians at key points displays the precision needed and like watching the Blue Angels…I’m blown away.

    KILLER cover. Not many folks know this, but Ram Jam was fronted by Bill Bartlett. He was the guitarist in The Lemon Pipers, who had a number one hit in 1968 with My Green Tambourine. It was one of the very first 'psychedelic rock" tunes.
