Well said. I am fortunate enough to even have Tirans CD. Just think if Pat
and Tom would release their solos again on CD. Pats Arcade is truly an
extension of the Doobies, "Why You Givin Up" could have been on any Doob
album during the McDonald era, So Wrong is a no.1 hit any time, Toms "Small
Time Talk" is Doobies pre Cycles and 'Outlaw" is a prelude to the "Doctor".
Supply and demand is off course, just listen to Toms ' "Savannah Nights",
right out of funky with screaming guitar, and OUT OF PRINT. Its a shame and
the recording companies and artists are the real losers. No, the fans are,
they should hear these artists talents. I have these and for only 19.95, I
will send........ NO JUST KIDDING!!!!
Listen, we owe it to share what we can, for free and the money makers can
take a hike!
