Does anyone have any knowledge of the construction of that song or any knowledge of any other unique stand alone riff that really made an impact on us??? :rolleyes:

Once again, thanks for the birthday wishes!!! :D

I'll add my good wishes too... Yeah, I remember that song, haven't listened to it for a long time, I should dig it out. Jan Akkerman was an awesome guitarist, I remember he used to chain smoke while playing & tuck the cig's onto the headstock...

Just as an aside, I turned 50 last month... I don't feel senior, just older! :( all downhill now!
