Covers Friday - Shaken not Stirred Edition



My name is Bond... James Bond. I don't know why I'm in a Bond Mood... its Friday the 13th, and St PAddy's day weekend, and I pull out Bond. Perhaps its cause Quantum of Solace will be out on DVD in 2 weeks. Regardless, today you get James Bond Covers.

From the Sean Connery Days...

A few instrumentals.... Covers of Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones
