Boys,
This is another great one from the AB's Greg Alman wrote it before they were a band.
I remember listening to this on soccer road trips in my college days.
Great stuff

Fantastic Russell ! Jessica was also a favorite of mine - except you can play it and I can't ! 
It brought back some great college days memories.
VERY NICE recording studio as well!

Re: Minor Idea. (*its mellow guys) (2 replies, posted in My local band and me)
Beamer - I was thinking the exact thing as Keepitreal - very dreamlike. Reminds of something Moody Blues might have come up with.
I'd be glad to mess a round and attempt some lyrics if you would like- if not - I will wait for your finished product and go off to dreamland.
Nice job

p.s. when I was 9 I put our family cat in the washer - luckily my mom caught it before it started. She was not amused with me at at all and I got a little more than a sock in the puss.
