HOT JAVA

this is a really cool song that REM played a lot during their 1995 monster
tour.  they introduced the band during this song most of the time.  
unless you (or someone you know) have a bootleg from the tour with this 
song on it, or have an extremely rare cd that only 
you know about, you'll probably have a really hard time finding a 
copy of this song.  this transcription is according to the 11/21/95 show.   
this song has a real old-1920's country feel to it;  i think it was
originally by floyd cranmer, but i may be wrong...
