This is wonderful stuff: with Eddie Rabbitt and Janie Fricke - how cool is this video(although we have to wait until around the 3 minute mark to really hear the harp--the vocals are SO good, well worth the wait): (by the way, I agree with a lot of the posters: maybe time for a CD compilation or a revival of your band. This is all so good.
