A very fine choice, Dave. Admittedly Bachrachian, it's still one of
my favorites from the old days. They did a great job on the
production and arrangement as well. It was a NYC record circa '64,
'65 ??? It's rare when someone covers me and meets my fantasy with
their version. I have no complaints about this cover. Except that
you, your listener, Bruce Scott and his mum and I were the only
people that ever heard it. Let's put it on Musica if I ever learn how.
Al Kooper
