Totally beautiful, total control & totally insane. De Ford must have players this tune many thousands of times to get it where it is in this recording. I'm still working on it & it's getting there.9 years ago

Yes, this is unreal. At times it sounds like three guys, and the tempo is solid as a rock all the way. Damn.11 years ago
