Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
An obscure, but very nice melodic song from 1987. There are 3 chord versions here: the
4:04 single, the 6:38 blues mix, and the 8:00 extended version. Both the single and the
blues mix were available on the UK CD single along with 2 other tunes, and on the
Silencers first album "A Letter from St. Paul". I haven't found where the extended version
came from, but it may be a US only mix. All 3 are great tunes on their own. Times
shown are elapsed time from the start; by Marty Lurvey. http://www.thesilencers.info/
