energy take with the drummer leading the charge :^)
I have tried about 10 times now to download that thing and Yahoo keeps

sometime early in the morning or late at night. Thanks for uploading that.

This is pure speculation on my part, but since The Ghouls were a studio
band, perhaps you guys were the first band to ever play Voo Doo Juice live!
