There used to be a truck stop outside of St. Louis on I-44 called the Thunderbird Terminal and Bobber Cafe. It may still be there, I don't know. I've always loved that name and after passing it one night about 12 years ago the melody for this song dropped into my head. |

I wrote this one in a single afternoon. I'm particularly proud of that bass line, thank you very much. |

The dance of the moon. Most of the NASA samples are of Pete Conrad and Alan Bean during the Apollo 12 landing sequence. Their jubilation at the end is during the maneuver called the pitch over in which they see the terrain below them for the first time and discover that, unlike Apollo 11, they are exactly on course. |

The descent of the Shaman. This is an everything-but-the-kitchen-sink piece. The vibe theme is revisited at the end of Pt. 2. |

A mentor of mine once used the drive from St. Louis to Columbia, MO as a metaphor for recognizing the milestones in life and knowing the path you are on. When you pass Kingdom City, you know you are on the road to Columbia, he used to say. |

One of my all-time favorite guitar instrumentals. Carlos Santana is such a sensual writer and player. What an honor to be able to do this one. |

Everything revolves around that last note. Resolution. Forgiveness. Reconciliation. Thanks to my wife for the title on this one. |

You could call it Acid-Blues. It was inspired as much by Yes' "Heart Of The Sunrise" as The Fabulous T-Birds' "Tough Enough". |
