  • Change (Frank Singer). 
    SIZE: 2,972 kbps
     In 2003 John Trevethan of PlayErie.com organized a regional Compilation CD sampler, which included cuts from all styles of music. Since there were 19 of these cuts, the 12 minute version of Change from Cat's A Bear 's Tito In Wonderland could not be included, so John edited a 6 minute version for the CD.
