HW: LLOYD-LANGTON

[flossbac]

Nope, I meant what I said... I think "Time and Space" is the best one, but
even so, it's not the greatest thing on earth.  "Like an Arrow....Through
the Heart" might be my least favorite actually!  Oh yeah, I forgot about "On
the Move" which is pretty good as well.  "Elegy" is also a good one.
Overall, the songs tend to have more of a blues-based rock approach, but
many of the tunes are jazzy as well.... The leads are good, but the songs
themselves are not at all adventurous, not at all progressive etc.
