The hit single by Suzanne Vega from 1987 called "Luka". Per Suzanne Vega: "A few years ago, I used to see this group of children playing in front of my building, and there was one of them, whose name was Luka, who seemed a little bit distinctive from the other children. I always remembered his name, and I always remembered his face, and I didn't know much about him, but he just seemed set apart from these other children that I would see playing. And his character is what I based the song Luka on. In the song, the boy Luka is an abused child—in real life I don't think he was. I think he was just different"

Revup67 billbassdude SixStringRick camillesobud - Awesome sounding collab all ! I am honoured to be part of such fine talent. Anthony, your drumming was so good it should be snared in a rock and roll museum - thanks again so much for the invite. Bill, your bass lines were so smooth and thick they really filled it all out. Rick, your guitar playing was strum believably good. Camille, your vocals really Vegafied the whole performance. Together, you didn’t just cover the song… you…hmmm…I cannot describe it…Love it…..But Just Don’t Ask Me What It Was ! LOL !

5-27-26 - Current mix completed with nice separation of all 4 guitar tracks, vocals are upfront and Bill and I are synced wonderfully. Just waiting for a keyboard track at this point before closing out.

@camillesobud: Thank you!! I saw an interview by the original bass player on the song, Michael Visceglia, on YouTube. He actually wrote a book about his experiences as a bass player, interviewed other bassists , the forward was by Sting. I was a little inspired and picked up a copy. Also, I can't say it enough, I just love your vocals.
