"AMANDA"...by LSG
I always thought this was a beautiful outlaw love song,
Over the years I've sang this song very few times during a "gig" but I've never forgotten how to play it, that's how ingrained this music is in my soul. I also love playing a song that means a lot to someone. When some one names a child after a song that you turned them onto that's pretty special.
When I would deejay the high school dances this song was a slow dance favorite.
