TAKE IT EASY

This song is their first single ever.  It's really cool, even though I can't
sing it because it's too high.  I did the acoustic part first, but at the end
there's an electric part.  A buddy of mine from UMass named Nate Mutti sent
it up to me a couple of weeks ago, and I finally put it in.  Thanks a lot Nate!
