I noticed. I also noticed it was on page 2. That's alright though, Andy has come to save the day. Keep those jams coming and we'll wake these dead asses up. lol

Another great pick, as usual.
Andy is a four letter word.

"Electric Avenue" was one of the 1st super massively big reggae tunes to "buss" in America. Great choice.

Guess what street is a block over from my apartment complex.



Seriously.

But I LOVED that song back then. People forget about "Romancing The Stone" as well. It was a great tune, and was due to be the theme to the movie, but was never officially THAT. It was IN the movie ever so briefly though.
