"THE BOMBER"

This cover of a Joe Walsh/Vince Guaraldi (The Jamestown-gang ?) song on => "Candyman" was the song 14-year old Steve Lukather listened to when he smoked weed for the first time.
This is also the first song on which Lukather plays bottleneck guitar: "I've never played that before, so I was an absolute beginner. I was really nervous when I played my version with that solo to 'the maestro' (Joe Walsh). Mine was the first cover-version of that song ever, but I think he liked it. Anyway, he (Walsh) plays a => Music Man Luke nowadays, although I'm still not sure that's a compliment".
