[beyond the sea]

isn't that song about tripping?

Yes I think so. It was that time in the morning, and if you've ever been there.........it's easy to understand.

I really liked their song 'An Hour in The Shower' and We Can Make It Happen'.

And I liked the way they introduced themselves to the world in their first song:

1) Introduction (6:35)

Hey there everybody

Please don't romp or roam

We're a little nervous

'Cause we're so far from home

So this is what we do

Sit back and let us groove

And let us work on you

We've all spent years preparing

before this band was born

With heaven's help it blended

And we do thank the lord.

Now we put you through the changes

And turned around the mood

We hope it's struck you different

And hope you feel moved

So forget about your troubles

As we search for something new

And we play for you

I think the very early Chicago stuff was great.

I own a mini-warehouse here in Nashville and Jim Tweedale rents space from me....we've chatted a bit over the years.

He toured with them in the horn section for almost 30 years.
