I fremember how I became a fan. It was the summer of 1997 and a station in Toronto called City Tv had a weekly rock video countdown of the 30 biggest albums of the week and The Dance sat at number 7 on the charts (Jewel had the top spot) and the video they played was Silver Springs. I liked the song but for some reason I never bothered to do anything about it. (Research the band and check out their albums). Then a few years later( 2001 I think) My dad got talking about music and before I knew it we were talking about FM. I got the dance used for 10.00 at a second hand store and the rest as we say is history. One thing though that I have found with any person or persons I discover is that usually it takes a while to get the info on the abands albums history /aalbums etc right. For example for the longest time before I had Tango or Mirage I kept thinking that Big Love was on the Mirage album for whatever reason. Now I know of course that it isn't. I think what endears me to this band is that no matter what happens the band manages to carry on and make music that speaks to the heart and soul. Even on the crappiest of albums there is always a gem. I mean can someone honestly say that on any Fm or solo venture by any band memeber that there isn't at leat one great song on the album?
That is my memory
