Dang!  I didn't even know they'd reformed.  Actually, didn't MS leave
the band more than once during their heyday?  Was he on Obsession?  I
think he was temporarily replaced at some time, but maybe that was
just for a tour.  Was he on all the early studio albums?  Once out,
did he ever return. or were all the post-'Strangers' albums with
other cats on gtr?
