John Cav Tapes: Ep #5

[billfromnorthwales]

Thanks for the quality control feedback Humph.

Really important that you bring these things to peoples attention.

Bit of a sloppy error, sorry folks, but it was Dylan followed by
Clapton, and it did aversely affect my peformance, so serves me right
for joking about it.

The corrected show has been repaired and is available HERE

; strange as I didn't think that song needed changing at all... Nice
work rebuilding/completing the first song, "Johnny" by Thin Lizzy !

well done and thanks again, B ! That Racing Cars song has grown on me -
you could imagine a Joy Division cover version, maybe ....
