This fan memory was written by Bob Parker.

I just remembered a minor detail that I would like to point out in the Web page.... In [../albums/the.missing.piece.html#MEMORIES OF OLD DAYS Memories Of Old Days], all five members played guitars: Ray and Gary 12-string acoustic guitars, Kerry and John and electric, and Derek on bass.

It's hard to describe the depth these guys had. When we arrived, there was a tension in the air that I have never experienced since at any concert. You went in knowing they were going to deliver -- they didn't fail. Although this is old news to many fans, the show included the five guitar ensemble, the drum/bells deal they have on [../albums/playing.the.fool.html Playing The Fool], and the recorder part from [../albums/playing.the.fool.html Playing The Fool] also.
