[78-L] Fio Rito

[Taylor Bowie]

So much for my feeble, fading, faulty  memory..I actually have a copy 
although I don't recall having played it before.  Some nice guitar fill-ins. 
Rust notes two guitarists in the band:  Muzzy Marcellino and Ray 
Johnson...wonder which of the two is the more audible?

Thanks to DD for the posting.

Taylor
