Slow Dance
'Slow
Dance' is on the "Bandera" cassette (out-of-print limited release,
1994) and on the
"Bandera" live album (they´re not the same – nice to have both),
Feegie, 1994, then Folk Era, 1998.
Hypnotic
slow ballad, great for dancing on a moonlit night, maybe on a
big hotel balcony, champagne in a cooler, sounds of a
lazy ocean not too far away, rustling silk… Anyway,
here it is…
