Robert says
Thank you for another Donovan gem, Jerry.
Another suggestion: “The Crunch,” from “Treasures, Vol. 2”
I can imagine this song fleshed out with some searing electric solos and effects.
The bard was far ahead of his time, wasn’t he?!
“The police own all the bloody fac-a-tor-ies, indeed!”

Absolutely brilliant job, Jerry! Cannot wait to get started.
What a gem this is!
Jerry says
It’s a great guitar part.
You can tell it’s from the HMS time period.
He loved those A minor licks at that time.
