Crazy! "Rhythm" by Major Lance has long been a favorite of Ron Silva's - and I tune that a lot of folks seemed to have overlooked. The Monarchs did is briefly in the mid-90s as part of our live act and we just started performing it again last week. Long-time Silva/Monarchs fans will also recognize "Money's Getting Cheaper" as a staple of our 90s band book as well. Great minds and all that, I guess...
