	Story Behind the Song The music for this song was recorded live. It was a 4-track session, sometime in 1978 or '79. This was our first song to get a little radio airplay in St. Louis around that time. It's always been a band favorite because it shows the tightness of the group. A story from that session.... Our guitar player Steve, broke a string while warming up for the first of 2 songs we were recording in a late-night session. Unbelievablly, no one had an extra string and there wasn't any place open to get one at that time of night. Luckily, a local group called the Lester Family, who had an early morning religious/music program on local television in St. Louis, just happened to be wraping up a session of their own. They also owned a music store that was near by, so they offered to go get Steve a string. They saved the day, and this song was one of the results. Lester's...we owe you one. Thanks.
