Straight No Chaser

 Complimentary "Straight No Chaser" Ringtone 

#


From rmaietta@indiana.edu Sun May  4 11:07:29 1997

Straight no chaser appears on the second Bush album, Razorblade
Suitcase. It's played with an electric guitar but it sounds great on a six or twelve string
acoustic. It was transcribed by guitarist Paul Morea.
