[Mike Blakesley]

Never heard this one. Is this the same Sally Stevens that did vocals on the Burt Bacharach WOMAN album? ("There is Time," excellent song.)

 

[Captain Bacardi]

This is one of the few Weisberg albums that I can get into. My favorite track is "Ojai", which I think has a bit of a Baja Marimba Band feel to it. I also like "Our Thing", which has a pretty good funk feel to it.

[Dave]

The only Weisberg album I ever liked... Maybe on the strength of the band members (such as David Spinozza in there) but there seems to also be a decent integrity in the compositions that this album is the most listenable & surpasses Tim's entire body of work...
