Like Jazz, music is flying in the sky. I love it.

Back to the days when music was still music in every letter of the word and every note of the song that brought peace to the soul and joy to the heart, when music was the food of love, play on guys.

They were a show band, hence the name and turned into one of the best prog rock bands ever... a mystery why they were not huge.

[pmjbacon]

... one of the first 8 track studio masters and brilliant live also!
