My copy of In Real Life arrived today, but I wasn't able to listen to it
right away. However, during tonight's Pop Garden Radio I found myself
with
some extra time in the first hour, so I cracked open the CD case,
skimmed
the lyrics of the first song that caught my eye, and played track 4, "I
Knew
You When., " on the air. Wow! What an incredible song. The ending of
the
song, with a solo vocal from John Faye, was pure beauty. I have now
listened
to the full disc, and I love it. I highly recommend this album.
John, Cliff, Joann and Dave, if any of you read this, please contact me.
I
would love to interview the band on the show sometime.

I'm sure Beth L. will read this and pass the word (if she hasn't
already), but just in case, Adam, I've forwarded the above to each band
member's personal email account. Had a 3AM breakfast with John this past
weekend in Dewey Beach. Believe me, he'll be most happy to read your
kind words. Always a tenuous time for artists when their newest work
first hits the street. IKE knocked 'em dead at the Dewey Fest, in spite
of the fact that the sound guy completely abandoned the board after
finally getting the sound only halfway right for the first song. He
literally left the board and never came back. The Jellybricks followed
with their usual sensational closing set. Damn, those fellas ROCK in a
most melodic and driving fashion! All the other musicians in the crowd
were going nuts, just like us mere fans.
