Biography:
This set of five thematically tied songs was written by Bruce Hodgson and Jack Harvey and was originally recorded as an acoustic guitar/vocal project in the spring of 1985.
The songs were re-recorded with full instrumentation in a home studio in Cole Harbour NS by band members formerly in Silver Star. Released locally in audio cassette format as a twenty minute continuous piece in the style of Rush 2112.
In June 1986, the set was featured on Q104 FM with Rockin Ray in his Off The Beaten Track segment on the Six OClock Rock Report.
In 1999, the recordings were remastered, transferred from analog to digital and re-issued as a CD titled Air Guitar, which included an additional seven original tracks recorded during the same period.
