bluesboy Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Looking back on the decade... What a wild ride to get to this point, with this '79 release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Looking back on the decade... What a wild ride to get to this point, with this '79 release I agree, I love Classic Tom, it's a good arrangement of Rock Tunes, and in my opinion one of the best of the latter part of the decade, but Damn the Torpedos was the peak point in his career, I still own the original vinyl.

(In other words, daddy's beat was Lake Michigan!) I guess thats why daddy didnt die, he could not get to the fight in time. Its hard to move fast in a wet wool uniform....

Tenacious_Peaches Posted November 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 Why thank you, sir Muzik. I actually tried to find Polk Salad Annie a while back because you mentioned it in another post, but I couldn't find it to download anywhere. I might have to look into buying it somewhere. It would be my honor to have a whole CD of muziktyme tunes! :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
