Lot's of Clap grooooooves! mmmm....excellent peice! In a way, this peice reminds me a little of "Low Spark of High Heeled Boys" by the '70's group, Traffic! I just can't remember who was on the keyboards for Traffic......I'm getting to be an old man (one who managed to survive the era)

Crazy Lady is a fun peice, full of excitement......excellent work, Julian....
