This was the second tune I sequenced in Cakewalk (that's Cakewalk Professional 3.0) in the mid 90's.
The drum track was pretty basic back then, I hope I've "dressed" it up a bit. The piano is where my
"chops" were in those days. Play it, "fix" it; try not to quantize it to death. Played the bass on the keys.
The vocal is a bit "pitchier", but that's where we're at today. The 90's guitars had the effects "baked" in,
and I wanted to "dust" them off anyway; what's the point of revisiting, if not to "polish" it up.

Thanks for listening!
