Notes
-----
This was one of the first songs that Tony used to teach to his students,
but tended not to perform. He eventually put it onto the end of 'Cool
Friction' which contains many of the audence favourites from the early
years. The flow of the melody depends on the numerous left-hand hammer-ons
and pulls-offs, underpinned by the steady D-D thumb picking.
