...and here's the first song I'm going to learn and cover.
In case you don't know that band (and the 1987 record the song is from), Fire Town were an early project of Butch Vig, who played drums and produced the thing in his home studio. It's a great album, but in case you're thinking of buying the CD, be warned that the only available version -- on Wounded Bird, a label that usually does good things -- is mastered, shall we say, unflatteringly.
In any case, I can't wait to get that opening riff down; I can still remember the chills I got when I put the vinyl on for the first time all those years ago.

I bought this LP (still have it) due to your review in Stereo Review . I loved it and made a very nice cassette version so I could take the chiming goodness on the road too Steve, you enlightened me to many good recordings of which this one still sounds great. Sweet axe!
Good looking axe, Stevie. Is that the same model that Page played White Summer/Black Mountainside on? Tuned in DADGAD. 8^)
Vintage or Korean or Chinese? It's all about the beaverboard and lipstick tubes. What could be more sexy? Did the guitar shop put a truss rod adjustment in the body. You might want to do that to make it even sexier.
Billy B: I think Page used a six-string Danelectro 3021 for live versions "White Summer".
VR - Liked Spooner better, but not head over heels. Leave that to the Midwesterners who have a high propensity for mediocrity.
please make it stop....
