Cool thanks for the link.
Email me your mailing address and I'll burn you a couple of Rainmakers CDs. I don't feel any guilt about that given that they are out of the print from the record company.
Here's a verse from another of their songs:
Run, run, run little sister
Outrun your brothers, outrun the twister
You got a thing for older men
Are you too good for your own kin?
LOL
And one more (then I need to get back to my project) --
We were rounding St. Looee and heading for the coast
When we picked up Chuck Berry in a little rowboat
One oar in the water and one in the air
A lightning rod for a white guitar
Then lightning struck once, and lightning struck twice
And I said if there's a God he sure ain't nice
Chuck said God is an indian giver
I don't trust nothing but the Mississippi River

>>I didn't know that was the name of a song. There is a line that goes the same way in a song by The Rainmakers, "Let My People Go Go." Now there was a great rock band. They released three or four terrific CDs in the 1980s and then disappeared. Remember trusting me on Talking Heads eons ago? Trust me on this one, too. I see it's no longer in print but you can get it from a reseller.
