Hi Mike,
I couldn't agree more. I just got the CD last night and am now playing it
for the second time. It's absolutely wonderful! Cherry Twister is
definitely a good call, and I think Jellyfish fans would like the chord
structures as well.
They have also accepted my invitation to play IPO Chicago, and I'm very much
looking forward to seeing them there!
