Question for Peter regarding snare drum sound
(Preview)
Hi Peter, A guy I know at another music forum was discussing Rare Earth and complimented the snare sound on the "Get Ready" album. By chance, do you recall what setup/equipment (snare) you used for that album? Thank you.

Lyrics
(Preview)
Hi. Huge fan from WAY back. Now that I've dusted off the old LPs and listening again with a new set of ears I am wondering where is a good place to get lyrics. I can usually decipher most of the words but there always seems to be a line or two I can't quite figure out.
