about

This was Little Fyodor's brainchild. He likely showed us the chords, attempting a reggae vibe. It’s his rhythm guitar with my (Evan) melodic bass line. Ed plays the slidewhistle and finally chimes in with the Echoplex guitar to introduce an ascending chord progression before we return to the head and it fades out. We never could play reggae very well. We probably thought it was a good joke just that we would even try. The one thing we had in common with the Rasta culture was that we smoked a lot of weed. But who didn’t in those days?
