Misty Roses covers David Bowie’s “Fantastic Voyage”

 Misty Roses’ Robert Conroy does an excellent cover of David Bowie’s “Fantastic Voyage”, live on Irene Trudel’s WFMU radio show, 26 October 2009. Backing him with some lovely 12-string guitar is my good friend Greg Fasolino who had last played with Robert back in ‘86, when they were both in the band Burning Rome.

Check out more Misty Roses on their website, their MySpace Music page and their Facebook page.
