    STRONG second. I love when Haynes does it with Gov't Mule and every time Ive seen them do it live Ive though about seeing PJ do it.

    Traffic! That was a song whenever I played my parakeet would sing to. Good memories. :)

    LOVE that song

    Grateful Dead always cranked out that cover...specifically a Dear Mr. Fantasy > Hey Jude tandem cover...that i am sure has been played at the Spectrum a couple of times.

    Winwood/Clapton played it on tour, awesomeness ... and you sir, the winwood hater, need to go listen to Blind Faith. Definitely one of the Top 100 Rock Albums Evah!

    oooh, Gov't Mule! Sept in SF just before I start my PJ tour!

    ok.

    play it.

    make it snappy.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    Dear Mr Fantasy would be an awesome cover. Saw Winwood and his band over here couple of years back, great show. One of the best Winwood covers has to be Warren Zevon's version of Back In The High Life Again. Come to mention it, how about PJ covering Warren. Maybe Roland The Headless Thompson Gunner of Mohammed's Radio?

    How bout we go way back and do Gimme Some Lovin? I think Winwood was about 17 when the Spencer Davis Group recorded that......and everyone should have some Traffic in their music collection....
