Great stuff! In addition to the Lonely Bull and Spanish Flea, I love their covers of 'Walk, Don't Run', and 'Love Potion #9'. They always had such fun-sounding horn arrangements in their songs...their music really takes me back to when I was a kid.
I used to know how to play The Lonely Bull on guitar....its been so long since I played it, I need to relearn it. Hmmm, where did I put that sheet music, darn it?
