- but that doesn't sound right to me. Not siren-like enough. Am I just using
- the wrong kind of distortion, or am I hitting the wrong notes? And, because
- I started this mess, I'll finish it by adding the chords...

- Well, I'm running

- if they really want it), "I've Been Waiting" (can someone post the whole
- song?), and "Evangeline," which is fairly easy except for that damn brilliant
- solo.
