Just a little extra...he didn't really "split the band" up, in that kind of dry, calculated manner. Hunt Sales (Paris' drummer) was stricken with Bell's Palsy and during his recouperation time, Bob had written new material...French Kiss was recorded & released during that time...had Hunt not been ill, French Kiss would've very well been Paris' 3rd album (this per Bob himself...on his own site's message board).
