Thanks but I think I will get back caught up when we get back home. We’ve been back East visiting family. I should be back working to get caught up by next Monday or Tuesday. I am getting itchy though. I have picked up a few albums while in town and am waiting to get them back on my turntable.

Counting Crows - Recovering the Satellites



The final track on Recovering the Satellites is the 1:12 long ballad Walkaways. It's the perfect way to end this album and despite the short length, obe of my all time favorite counting crows songs.
