Her Time songs seem very "light and bouncy" perhaps a little too "sugary pop" sounding.

I don't know much about music and playing in a band, but it seems to me that if Dave plays "lead" and Billy plays "rhythm", they should be able to co-exist. After all most rock bands have more that one guitarist. Even FM at one time had 3 of em!

I don't really see that Dave Mason was even needed (even though I love Blow by Blow ), but it seems that Billy had left FM then returned a few months later. So in the interim, they brought in Dave Mason - to only have him contribute two songs!
