Wow. 's "Wooden Ships" performed last night in LA with , , Chris Stills, James Raymond, Steve Postell, and others.
Note that I am not endorsing Autism Speaks! But it's thrilling to hear Croz's being played live again. https://youtu.be/wYy-lflZC7c

To be clear: I'm very happy that and
played together last night, and that the great James Raymond,
's son and chief collaborator for 30 years, was included. I'm not a fan of - my book can tell you why. This was not an event for Croz, but a benefit. But I'm hoping that any future tribute events to
Croz also include his bandmates from the and Bands. I'll be there.

- originally created to score vintage french underwater documentaries, also the perfect soundtrack for anything, anytime, but especially this warm wet spring day. the album that helped turn me into a frothing never-miss-a-show head 20 years ago, finally on vinyl, & as captivating & moody & oceanic as ever. righteous length LP sides, too, no skimpin'. https://yolatengo.bandcamp.com/album/the-sounds-of-the-sounds-of-science
