The second CD released by TCM It took 5 whole years – some people were beginning to wonder what had happened to them – but it was definitely worth the wait 1/1/2022 Smith Some notable songs are: l l l Wild, Sweet, Cool Roll It Up PHO 9

Wild, Sweet, Cool The reason it took so long for the guys to release a second CD – they wanted it to be just like the first, only better. A difficult task for two perfectionists! 1/1/2022 Not to worry, in between albums TCM went on tour throughout the States. Smith 10
