Nothing exciting and nothing new .... :-(

Another cover CD of Smokie ... no new songs, no new ideas .... tragic and sad, but a logical development.

Visually watched Barton (1986-1995 with Smokie) ideal for band and wrote at the time such huge hits such as "Surfin 'or' In the middle of a lonely dream". -Smokie Nowadays limited to Covers.
