Billy Smith came by to write one day with a four string baritone guitar and the line ‘fly through me like a Thunderbird’. He said he didn’t know what that meant really and I said I think I do. An hour later we had the song “Thunderbird”. We call this our native American spiritual song. I’ve always had a reverence for the Native American culture. After performing the song it took on a new arrangement. Felt like we needed to re-record it for Benny’s TV Repair in the way that we perform it live. I hope everybody enjoys the new version!
