Quote for the Day:
"We took our time and worked out what the three guitars were going to do, especially in the beginning.
I did quite a bit of ad lib, because I had more of a blues feel, and my head was full of everything.
Robert [White] was a good rhythm guy, and Joe [Messina] often went note-for-note with the bass. I would ad lib in and out, never covering up anybody.
We had to play according to the record, you know - you didn't want to jam it up with a bunch of crap."
