NOTES: This song is one of the Trees' best. They definitely did their best work when they were on SST

records. Most people don't know about their SST songs...that is a shame. I plead with you to check out all

of their records on SST and see what you are missing if you have never heard them before...much different

from their big label stuff (and much better). If you have any questions or comments, please E mail me at

XAQK88A@prodigy.com. Thanx.
