Approaches Well, I was around during that first tour, but was too young to get into the bar! So, I missed the great first tour and had to settle for at least hearing the local DJ playing one of their tunes...forget which one now! I never found that first album around at any record stores in Dallas (where I live) until their second one (Waking Hours, the first on A&M) came out. I wish I had more memories to share of that first tour, but all I have is the memory of calling in to correct the DJ who'd first annouced them as an Irish band. ;-) He did correct himself after the tune finished, but no mention of having been corrected or having made a mistake, of course. LOL Twenty years! Yikes! That's both scary and exciting at the same time. debbie - --- SensOfWndr@aol.com wrote: > Hello again all, > > This is only the second time I've posted, partly > because not a single soul > replied to my first post some months back.
