This song is by Cal. Cal and I have worked on several songs together. This is a really emotional piece from him. He sat down and wrote this and tracked it in one session. After hearing his emotional delivery, I couldn't resist joining in. Whether this one will actually go anywhere or not, I am not sure, But it is pretty intense as it is. Take a listen and see what I mean!

Here is a great little number by Paul (neuaddsibly). Another one of those flowing grooves with some very interesting lyrics. I think we are waiting on a reworked bass track and some subtle B3 organ parts and this one will be finished. Tho's Paul's output has declined in quantity lately, probably due to the arrival of his new baby girl, the quality has not dropped one bit! Visit Paul's website for some more great tunes.

My first real foray into Fusion/Prog Rock. Courtesy of StephenR. Stephen is a prolific songwriter with an amazing background. You can find his website at: www.azurecrystal.com This is a very hot and fast number that hopefully will remind you of YES. Actually it is a tribute to YES. Stephen has done an incredible job of putting this together. Not only is he a fantastic keyboard player, he is one of the very few people I have met that can say "I'm gonna write a song that sounds like YES" and it actually does!!! Look for future postings including a tribute to Kansas. Be sure to visit Stephen's website, if your into great music, you just found heaven!
