Jacob, thanks for the kind words, the Saints Wake is one of Matt's
songs, I've always enjoyed playing that one. But you think the
original "Everybody Up" is just ok? I always thought "Everybody Up"
was the essential Randy Holden/Fender IV number. I guess Margaya
could be debated for that title as well, but it seems more covered
than "Everybody Up". I think Randy Holden had one of the best
Jaguar tones. It's like the polar opposite of Eddie Bertrand's, but
both of those guys sound are what I've been after. Have you heard
their vocal number "You Better Tell Me Now"?

I do love the Jaguar tone on Everybody Up! Instantly identifiable as a
Jaguar. I haven't heard the vocal number that you are talking about.
