“Tequila Sunrise”

When Kim left the group during the recording of “Handle With Care”, we had been performing a lot of Eagles tunes on stage.

Kim was a big fan of theirs, and so we incorporated many of the Eagles songs into our act, on some of which he sang lead.

Upon Kim’s departure, Ken took over the singing responsibilities for several of the tunes Kim had sung. This is one of them.

Backup vocals on this version were done by Jon, Paul and me.
