| I did have a blast putting this one together... I personally recorded the coaster sounds, etc., while riding the "Giant Dipper" in San Diego over and over. (And believe it or not, it was on a 4th of July!) Thanks to my pal Rob Watson for the cool calliope. See also: ROCK / PJ'S LATEST |

| A hot little Texas-style number, with throbbing upright bass (Glen Holmen), a tasty piano break (Scott Burns), and more... Dave Raven is such a hot drummer; who else can just spit to make a cymbal crash? (check out his solo!)...
