Actually, there were only 2 songs ( believe from the Semantics album that
were re-done for Owsley's solo record (Coming Up Roses and one other that
escapes me). Likewise, I believe 2 Semantics made it to Millard's album
(Jenny won't play far and, as above, one other that escapes me).
All three albums (Semantics, Owsley's s/t, Millard Powers) are fantastic.
I'm a sucker for Power's "Gone" Just vocals and a bouncy repeating piano
line.
