Sounds Like: Sounds like a familiar classic rock and roll morphing into a trippy spacey, world music journey, then transforming you right side in side out heart opening bliss until you realize you've been there before and you want everyone of your family members to have the same feeling, and then we groove into an old traditional song that is timeless yet still carries relevant philosophy for today's life, and just when you are ready we groove you into a new groove. How does one describe sound? you have be there to have your own experience. " It sounds like a big warm soft & fluffy flower of whip cream on top of ice cream on top of a warm browny just about to enter your mouth on a coconut spoon"
