I listened to this album years ago and just found it in my Vinyl letting go of the past. I decided to play it. I was startled at how beautiful, and timely it still is. Great wriing and music and unique vocals.. Beautiful!! I ve been listening to it all night. I never do that. So excellent, tom scott influence, but many great influences in this Album. I hope your still making music!!! I live in Monterey and not sure who will read this but thought id pass it on.

I was thinking of this album the other day and how much I loved it. I looked for it on Apple and Amazon music and neither app has it. Then I dug thru my few remaining LP’s. Eureka! I still have it. Unfortunately, no turntable.
I was 30 when this came out and now I’m much more … er…ah…mature. Still, I remember the beauty of these two voices and want to hear them again. I haven’t found a digital version yet, maybe I can post on the Nextdoor app and find someone who can convert it.
Back then, no internet, no social media and I was not a connected person. I had know idea this was their only album and I presume the sales did not encourage another. The artistry alone should have demanded another album.
I was single guy back then I put many miles on the grooves and they soothed a then lonely heart.

Last year I bought a turntable and it was well spent money to me. I have a lot of vinyl and a lot of them weren’t released on CD. If I knew back then that vinyl is getting hot again, I would never sold my old turntable. I also have this album in my collection, another well spent money 😉

To Deb and Pam,
I am a singer/pianist and songwriter. I sing mostly pop from 60’s/70’s. I came back across your album from 76’ wherein i practically wore it out! Your material and vocals are timeless! I SO WISH you had recorded more music! I would also love to sing with you if we can make it happen. I’ll leave my name and website and you can hear some of my vocals. Thank you for ever making this beautiful album!❣️
