Check out another wicked cover, this time it's "fly lke an eagle" track 3,
that came out of a gig when they got requests for 'fly like an eagle' and
'giant steps' and they played them together. Lee Townsend, their producer
liked it some much he had Charlie do it in the studio. And, for those in
NYC Charlie is now there, he is not to be missed, even just solo.
