Best 77s, that's just not a fair question. It depends what mood you're in. I love Pray Naked for a quieter mood, but tom tom Blues rocks if you're in a hard mood. SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *HUG * * Luv2sing has never heard of them before the people in this room started talking. But our christian radio station plays only slow stuff, and the christian bookstore is really conservative. So I hear about everything word of mouth. * misslucy grabs the mayo and mustard uses it as gel and does the mohawk thing with etan 's hair.....LOOK! ---------> O : ======== 77's have more talent than most BANDS! It really upsets me that you guys are not played on the air Tacobor: thank you I concur with daman Mike, I really have enjoyed your heart-felt songs.

Is Mike Roe coming back to Toledo? mike: the percussion on Boat Ashore really stands out to me, it seems much different than other stuff you've done, some say it makes the album really work , especially on songs like some kind of dream. Your comments? I lIKE stealing hubcabs.. <_Mort_> Luv2sing: no mate, its about 1500km away, so unfortunately not.... :( grimace: red house painters, portishead Is Mike Roe coming back to Toledo? Radio U Rocks! no way RED HOUSE? mr_sharky: different drummer * melvan wishes there was a station like Radio U in the twin cities... * Luv2sing says: The only christian station we get is KLove and they play to the 30's crowd. that's pretty cool.
