Re: (TV) Keith, Sterling, and Fred "Sonic" Smith

I'm not sure that its Kramer doing the solos I'm talking
about...didn't they alternate solos on that record ("Back in
the USA")? I think the one time I checked it was
Smith...he's playing sort of basic dum-dum guitar solos, but
he's playing as though he's working a flame thrower.
