Ah, that was going to be my next question, but you've anticipated it.
But ya didn't really say if you liked it or not.  Is it a concept
album?

Well, I'm not going to go back over the 'whiny singer' road, but I
definitely hear ya!

GT was a singer before he joined JP.  In fact, I think he was the
lead singer in his previous band, as well as guitarist, of course.
He wrote most of the songs, then?

Wow!  Sounds great.  I used to see Billy in bar bands for years
before he hit it big.  He's from up the road in Buffalo, and his old
band, Talas, played all the joints from one end of NY to the other.
Even 20 years ago, you could tell he was going places...
Cozy's an animal.  Is he in a band nowadays, or just doing the hired
gun thing?
