I've loved the Pearlfishers music for years. I think David Scott is a unique talent that can appeal to a wide variety of music fans, but especially if you like an engaging mix of Rundgren, Bacharach and McCartney. I will admit that the new Pearlies hasn't found its way into my player nearly as much as the previous three CDs, but that's more a function of so much great stuff coming out this year than it is a reflection of "Sky Meadows". It sounds like you've tried to get into the CD and it just hasn't worked any magic on you. I honestly doubt that's about hometown origins as much as it is about where you are musically. But there is an old adage that says: "You're never a hero in your own home town." Joe Field Flying Colors Comics & Other Cool Stuff http://FlyingColorsComics.com
