You Need An Optimist

Recorded live at The Park West in Chicago on June 19, 1988.
With only one album recorded at that point (Time and Tide) Basia and I needed a few more songs to fill out our show, so we played this medley of Aretha Franklin classics. It recently came into my possession (nearly 32 years later) - thanks to Michał Korpała for hunting it down.
