was lucky enough to be at this show in Indio, Ca. in 2008. Love, Love, Love Tommy James and the Shondells!!

Hi Everybody!

I've just read that he tuned his guitar to an open 'E' so that he could change from one major chord to another by simply sliding one finger up and down the fret, and as he'd subsequently discover, this habit would condemn him to "life as a rhythm guitarist."

Hi Everybody!

Perhaps he was beginning to find it a bit difficult trying to play a normal E major chord. (:o)

That's interesting, he's using an open tuning, open E major.

it's good to see people can still rock out in their later years.. it means there is hope that we won't all turn out to be cranky assholes when we're in our 60's

Questa famosa cover, che in Italiano si intitola SOLI SI MUORE, è di fatto una delle canzoni bandiera degli anni 60. Indimenticabile!

Jim Cauchon
