I like Van but do admit the song is overplayed. Wish
they'd play the "alternate" version he recorded,
which was on the "Bang Masters" CD (put out in the
early 90s). At least then you'd have a different
arrangement.

I've heard tapes of the "countdown" show at WMJI
in Cleveland; not bad. One tape trader sent me an
aircheck of CHUM (1050) in Toronto; of interest 
because some songs/ artists hit the Canadian
chart but didn't make it in the US. Again, at least
_then_ you hear something different!
