My personal thanks goes out to the creator of this website! I wish that all of my favourite bands had websites that were this thorough!
Hoping to see America back in Los Angeles soon, since they cancelled their show at Ventura Theater!
Love the new album, and always love to play their songs with my guitar buddy, Jason Anderson.
I just saw the America / Beach Boys concert in Wollongong, Australia.
What a sensational night it was!!!!!!!!!!
I´ve been listening your music for 25 years and I truly believe that you are the best band I´ve ever heard, I had the chance to went to a concert in México City with you guys and Hall and Oates, it was a wonderful experience, but when are you coming back? I´m your number 1 fan in México and I´m looking forward to see you in the near future.
Thanks for all your wonderful music!
By the way, your new CD Humane Nature is as great as all others.
America is wonderful

I feel as though I grew up with America and that they are a significant part of my life. I was deeply moved when I heard Horse with No Name on the radio the first time, and I have been moved by their music ever since. Write me if you feel the same way!!!
America is the finest group ever. Please keep me posted regarding any
developments of the group.

I love America´s music, and also a play the guitar so, if any of you have some tabs of America´s songs, plis.
Five days ago, here in my country America had a perfomance,and of course I´ve been there, it was grat!
Wow!!!! Last Sunday my dreams came true at their concert! I waited for them for more than five hours at the back of the Arena, but it was only 20 minutes before the concert when they finally arrived... and that was AMAZING. I was waiting for them w/ other fan and we jumped onto their van. I said "Hi Dewey! howre you doing?" while I shaked hands w/ Mr.Beckley. They were quite kind singing my HEARTS cd and making my lifetime dream come true in those few seconds as one guy pulled me off their van... The concert was superb and I was thrilled! They performed all their hits and the sound was incredibly pure. When Gerry played "Daisy Jane" that was truly intense and we all enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Dewey And Gerry that was something I wont forget... no doubt a HIGHLIGHT !!! LONG LIVE AMERICA !!! (heres your biggest Chile-fan)

THANKS!

Hello to all America fans in Germany! Human Nature has now been released by in-akustik, order no. 990004-2. "jpc" offers it for 33,95 DM (www.jpc.de). Bought my copy today in a jpc shop. My first impression is that the album is only good average, but as others here claimed before it should grow with repeated listening. Greetings!
If I were on a deserted island and I could only have one album with me I would choose Alibi. It is definitely my favorite of all time! I hope to see you guys back in the Detroit area soon.
America fan since the beginning (1972), favorite albums are "America", "Homecoming", "Silent Letter", "Hourglass", got mostly everything on CD that's available, but still looking for the new album
When are you coming to Lake Tahoe??????????????
WE are 15 years old and have always been listening to America.One of our dreams is to play the guitar like America. We would really love to be taught by them!!¬!*^$£! Their songs mean a great deal to us and we would LOVE to see them in concert one day so come on over to England soon!$%&&£*ß!
This is the best website I have seen on America!
Great work!
Hi! I'm a japanese fan.
I can't read english very well.(Please help me)
I love Gerry,Dewey,"AMERICA!"
"From A Moving Train"...Very good!
THIS IS AN AWESOME WEBSITE ! i WISH I HAD FOUND IT SOONER ! I'VE BEEN AN AMERICA FAN SINCE THE EARLY SEVENTIES. GLAD TO KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY AMERICA FAN-ATIC OUT THERE !
Just caught the guys last week here, sound as good as ever.Thanks to Gerry for signing all those LP's and taking some much time.Hope to catch Dewey next time. Classy site for a class act..Lakenheath 1970
Good site! 2 Q's: Why is there no America box set? Shouldn't there be at least one? Certainly enough material, and clearly enough demand. 2nd: Why not get DTS to release one of the quad mixes of "Hearts" or "Holiday" on a DTS compact disc? They are selling well!
It really looks as if my highest dream is about to happen..!!!(Well...
to be honest this and some others... ) I hope to see Mr. Beckley and
Bunnell soon as I have been their fan for many, many years...
Thanks Guys!!!! Thanks for all these years of wonderful songs !!!
I hope to have someday the chance to shake hands with you !
MY GREATEST REGARDS !
I have had Human Nature for 2 weeks now and I must admit I diddn't rate it as highly as some of their previous albums, even though I quite enjoyed it.
However, the more I listen the more hooked on it I get.
The harmonies in Overwhelming World Suite are great but I'd have to say my favourite is PAGES.
A truly great album!
As a retired professional rock musician, (actively involved in the business world for the past 23 yrs.), I was most impressed after seeing AMERICA in Houston, TX on October 10, 1998. They sounded GREAT, as they clearly were "in the grove" easily blowing away: Ben E. King, Ronnie Spector, and Three Dog Night (really two Dog night) !
Bravo guys ! My wife and I look forward to the next time....
Dewey and Gerry, Seen you on Home shopping,ordered your live C.d,I thought it was very rude how they cut in on a chart climbing song. Ive been a fan forever,Humane Nature feeds my soul.I hope I can help with calling all my local radio station to request from a moving train.I will keep in touch. Take Care Joanne Meyers
I'd like to add that I've listened to "Human Nature" again and I must say it's getting better. There are some intricacies I hadn't noticed before. Clearly "Moment to Moment" is a marvelous piece and the production throughout is first-rate. One other thought: I realize a lot of people miss Dan Peek, but Beckley and Bunnell deserve respect as a duo, which they've been for 21 years now. Drop me a line, guys, at wnelson@yakima-herald.com
Just bought Human Nature. "From a Moving Train" is a very good song, the kind that should get some radio time. It's better with every listen. The remainder of the CD falls off a bit, though, in my view. It's not bad, but nothing else really jumped out at me after a couple of times through. I guess I had hoped for more from Bunnell, my personal favorite through the years. The guy just rules.
I just received my copy of human nature. It is a truely great AMERICA album!
Just surfing the net listening to "Human Nature".
America fans rejoice!! at this superb new CD from the boys.
Later
A fan from the beginning-a fan forever!!!
I have loved America since I bought their first album in 1971. I recently went to see them at the casino in Melbourne and they were fantastic! They haven't lost it .... it was one of the highlights of my life.
A friend and I took my 15 year old son to see America in Reno. We had a great evening!! Thanks!
I'm a great fan of AMERICA since 1971.I'Have all their LPs and CDs. Unfortunately ,I missed them when they played some concerts in France last Year.Thank you for this wonderful site.I hope I 'll get their new Cd in France in a few days and that they will come back in France next year.Long Life to AMERICA.
I just wanted to say how much AMERICA's music has meant to me. Dewey and Gerry (Dan Peek,too) have added so much to my life with their music.
I received "Human Nature" the other day and have enjoyed it so very much. AMERICA just keeps getting better. Great, great sounds! I hope "Human Nature" gets radio play. It's long overdue.
Thanks for the great site. Thanks Dewey and Gerry for the wonderful music over the years and for"Human Nature".
Peace!
I've known Gerry, Dewey, and the gang for quite sometime. Got to jam with them (on guitar) on "HORSE"...back in 1995! A great bunch of guys. s.j.
Just got Human Nature today (listened 5 times). GREAT STUFF (especially Whispering). I had been wondering if AMERICA is coming to Houston (found the date on your site). Why some album titles beginning with "H"?
When can I get the new Album Human Nature in German Stores ??
Can anybody help me ??
Thanks a lot !!
america is no.1
mr.beckly is the king of love songs
Being a huge America fan for many years i have been patiently waiting for the release of the new album HUMAN NATURE.Can somebody help me find a way of ordering this C.D?
are youn guys really going to come to f.f.casino? and when?oroville usa
America was GREAT on the Today Show!!!!!!! I couldn't wait to see them again. I went to work an hour late so I could see them. Thanks Steve for Emailing us about this. I would have never known if you had not told me !!!!!!!!! They sounded absolutely fantastic Joe Knight.. Please come back to North Carolina guys
Just wanted to say the guys were SO GREAT on the Today Show!!! It was a terrific way to start a Friday morning and a perfect start to the holiday weekend. Have a great one, everyone!
Erin :o)
i am humbled by the completeness and beauty of your site. Thank you for taking the time to celebrate a great band. i am a child of the 60's and it is wonderful to relive some of those moments.
Do you know where or how we can order tickets to the America Concert in Las Vegas, Sept 5. My brother who lives in Vegas has been looking everywhere and cannot locate where tickets are being sold. Thanks for your help.

Hello to all other America fans. Can't wait for that new album to come out!!! Thanks to te folks for creating this web page that I found quite by accident, and thanks to America for a lifetime of great music.
This site is great! To buy the music of America & many others, come to Krohn's Boulevard Records at http://www.kalnet.net/krohn Recently expanded with many more titles added. Used But Not Abused CDs & Singles; back issues of music magazines like Goldmine, RSTone, Spin, Hot Wacks, Musician, Downbeat, Dirty Linen, & others; Classic rock vinyl galore! http://www.kalnet.net/krohn
America Is, The Best There Was, The Best There Is, And, The Best There Ever Will Be !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've interviewed America twice, in 1987 (Southern Oregon) and 1997 (Yakima, Wa), and just wanted to touch bases again. It's good to know that this "original unplugged" band hasn't forgotten its roots. Their early work has a certain timeless feel, particularly Bunnell's contributions. Keep it coming and good luck with the new CD. As for myself, here's a selfish plug: Watch for The Informants, an acoustic-electric rock and blues band that's on the rise. A CD is in the works. Hey, Dewey and Gerry, do you want to produce it? Let me know. ... And tomorrow, where will we be tomorrow? What will we see today?
When are you guys going to perform in India? You have a great following here & you would be amazed how your LP records sell here.
i'm a fanatic america fan and i hope this site stays on forever! long live america!
we met backstage in eugene. back in my days as a drummer. that day I will always remember.
They have been my favourite band since I first heard their 1st album. Since then I have been hooked on them. Saw them in Australia recently and what a great concert they put on. Can,t wait for them to return.
Once you're hooked you're hooked for life. Gerry and Dewey have been keeping me going for the past 23 or so years. I cannot wait to see them on the 23rd of Aug in Minneapolis. Minnesota loves you guys! We will be on the top row like we were last time. See you boy's there.
Hello, I just want to comment that your songs are the coolest and I wish I could have all of your albums right now and listen to it.
Thanks to Dewey & Gerry for the almost 30 years of great music. The songs never grow old even though the vinyl does. See you guys at Club Bene in N.J. on 7/25. Looking forward to all the new songs on Human Nature and I hope you guys will also put all your great Christmas songs on one CD for us all to enjoy each holiday season. Have a great summer.
Very good!
America played Wichita just about a year ago and are going to return on August 15th--YES!! If you haven't seen these guys your really missing out.It was without a doubt one of the most fantastic concerts I've been to in years. Can't wait for August 15!!
I purchased all the guitars they have played since 1971 and play all their songs. Wish I could have auditioned for the band when Dan left just to enjoy their music daily.
Just want to say Hi to all of you America Fans! I was fortunate enough to catch the guys this past sunday at the summerfest in Norway,Michigan. Gerry & Dewey put on a heck of a show and were very gracious to all of us "media" types backstage. they patiently talked with us,signed autographs,and allowed us to take pictures! they performed 2 new songs from the upcoming "Human Nature" -- "Pages" sung by Dewey,and "from a moving train" with Gerry on the lead vocals! People, please do the group a favor and spread the word about "Human Nature"!!!!!!!
A personal friend of the gang. Got to jam with them at Chicago RIDGEFEST a few years back. Looking forward to seeing them in towm again soon! Love you guys!!!SJ
America is still the greatest even after all these years. I just saw them in Fresno,Ca on June 12 th and they sounded better than ever. Just wait till you get to hear their new CD. They played two songs from it, From A Moving Train and Pages. Both songs sound terrific. Steve Lowery my email address has changed to ghjh@netxn.com please note.
How did the Richmond Va concert go? I was going but my company had a 2 day meeting in Charlotte NC and I couldn't go!!!! Please come to North or South Carolina soon guys Joe Knight
Wow! I really like this site. Especially the horses!
I Really started getting into America about seven years ago and was so inspired by their acoustic based music that I started taking guitar lessons a few months ago. Thats saying a lot from a guy thats been a drummer for 20 plus years ! I have almost all their albums (some Japanese imports) and met them two years ago after their concert in Mississauga Ontario. They were very gracious and friendly and made me a lifelong fan with their great attitudes and wonderful music.
I have been a huge America fan for many years, I'm so thrilled at this new website, I never would have dreamed it would have been possbile even a few years ago. I'm glad for the guys to see this new interest the group. But for long time fans like me I never quit loving their music, it was frustrating at times, because there wasn't much on CD & the record companies in their infinite wisdom (HA HA) would stop producing wonderful albums like "Hearts" & "Alibi" which I just purchased on CD were stupidly cut out. I am looking forward to "Human Nature" like everyone else & was disappointed to see the release date was pushed back, Oh well, I just enjoy all the other CD's until it comes out. Can't wait to see them in concert in Louisville, Ky. This will be my 11th time seeing them, they just get better each time. I am listening to "Hearts" as I type, what an incredible album, I absolutely love "People in the Valley", "The Story of a Teenager", "Midnight" & "Tomarrow" not to mention the singles, in other words the whole thing !!! Looking forward to purchasing "Perspective", "Holiday", "Your Move","Harbor", & "Silent Letter" as soon as I can. I just want to say in closing I really miss Dan Peek alot but I don't love America any less because he's gone. I wish they'd do a reunion concert for old time sake. A fan always Chip Crouse.
Last summer in Dayton, Oh.I saw america for the first time. It won't be the last! Pittsburgh on july 19th. I'M THERE!!!
I just received my tickets to the up coming "America" in Fresno, Ca on June 12th. Just so happens that a good friend of mine is the box office manager of the Tower Theatre, so maybe I can get some pictures or autographs of Gerry and Dewey and the rest of the guys. I'll let you know just how great the concert was. Talk with you then.
Why are so many albums not available on non-import CD? Is it Warner
Brothers and Capitol? Many years ago I wrote to both (WB and Capitol)
asking when they were going to release ALL America albums onto CD.
I received no response from one, and the other wrote on my (Original) letter stating, "no plans at this time".
Patience running out in Vermont!
Thanks - Don Edson
Thanks for posting the lyrics and CD cover! After reading the lyrics, it's going to be really interesting to hear the songs.They all sound so great...I don't know how I'm going to wait 47 more days!! Thanks again...keep up the great work!

Great Website--nicely detailed, Dan
I'm a dedicated fan and thought I had all the CD/albums until we saw American in concert last night (my third concert) and Dewey mentioned Human Nature is their 20th album--I'm about five short of having them all. Great concert, by the way (APRIL 21)--best version of Sand Man we had ever heard. donna
just passing thorough trying to find the chords to all those great songs that i can't quite pick out by ear.
I LOVE AMERICA CAUSE THAT IS ONE OF MY MEMORABLE BAND. YOU KNOW HOW
LOVELY THERE WAS 1983 I WAS 3 YEARS OLD KID I REMEMBERED ALL THOSE
SONG'S IN 80'S IT WAS GREAT AND HARMONY, YOU KNOW WHEN I AM SLEEPING
MY FATHER PLAYED THOSE SONG'S TO GET ME RELAXE OR WHAT EVER IT IS
AMERICA IS THE BEST.
CODE NAME: WEBSTER
I've been a big fan since "View From the Ground" when I was in high school. I've seen them at Jones Beach Theater and almost every year when they come to Westbury. My favorite album is "Your Move" . I'm really excited that they'll be releasing a new album soon. They're so awesome!
I love AMERICA ! Bye bye to all the fans of this great group, expecially to Paolo
I love America! Daisy Jane is one of my most favorite songs by them and I think that they sound like what a band really should sound like! I'm only 15, but I love the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and a few thing in the 90s, but not much. Nice site. Love the clips..... bye!
I got hooked to America around 16 years back and still think they are one of the greatest bands. My first album was "America with Tan and Jeff" I wonder why Dan Peek does'nt figure in the later albums though. I have'nt as yet been able to get hold of "Hat Trick". I love them. You guys are really good. Your 12 strings sound fab. I'm proud of you.
Hoping to get the guys to add "Old Man Took" back into the lineup before they get to San Diego in June. One of the best concert tunes ever! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello gentlemen. You're still my favorites.
Been looking forever on how to get cd soundtrack to "The Last Unicorn" in my area...Edmonton Canada...Listen to Greatest hits album on a regular basis....
WOW! Thanks for a great page. I have been searching the web for all of the bands that I like. I have been fortunate to find most of them. I look forward to seeing more guitar chords published and the gret photos that are presented.
Great site! I'll put a link from my home page to yours!
Everybody have to see it! :-)
Great website. Worth the price of aol
I Love America so much. I love their songs. I have been your fan for such a long time. Both of you have a golden voice.One of your song which is my favorite is All my Life.
Love,
Beth
I did not get to see America live until 1996. Have seen them three times total now. I have several (20-30) audio tapes of America over the years. Looking for anyone else who wants to trade their tapes with me. Video wanted too.
I love this website and I love the band. Hope to hear their new album soon.
I saw America for the first time at the Jones Beach Theatre in New York in the summer of 1983. This concert was awesome. I have been a big fan ever since and try to see them whenever they come to Long Island.
I can't remember when I first time listened to the very first America's song in my life. But I was 15 or 16 when a girlfriend gaves me "View From The Ground" album witha a special sign on the third track "You Girl". Suddenly, that beautiful intro chords Bm/F#m/Em/F#m/F#m7 and that beautiful melody brought me peace and happiness. After that, America became an important part of my life's soundtrack. The girl is not the same, I'm 10 years older, but that chords keep flowing in the air...Thanks Gerry and Dewey for over 25 years of great music! I hope you come back to play here in Rio, Brazil, again! We love you...God bless you!
The group played only 2 days in São Paulo, I'd like to have them back as soon as possible and listen to new songs.
I saw America in concert at the Big Spring Jam in Huntsville, AL last fall. They put on a great concert! Any chance they will be back in 1998? I would love to see them again!
Hi Willie from Sharon , your sister's friend
Great site!!!
I have followed America since their first releases and make every attempt to see them in concert when they come to the Cleveland, Ohio area since then. When and where will they be back in "98"? And when do they plan a new album. To good to quit now. This is the only band that keeps me linked to the past and I enjoy the new sounds they have done as well.
Great job with the page! I "WAS" the 14,000th person to access the sight, but Netscape found an error and shut me down a minute ago! Anyway, I'm 20 years old (going to be 21 on Tues, Mar. 17) and a big fan of America. I have a decent America record collection now and even had the pleasure of seeing America in Norfolk, VA on August 8, 1996. I even got to meet Gerry and Dewey at their hotel after the show. Got some great pics plus autographs!
I saw America at the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville CT, last night for the second time. They sound just as good now as they did when I first started listening to them in the early 70's. They are truly a "class act" and I look forward to seeing them again...and again!!!!
I have been fortunate to have seen the guys in concert every year for the past 18 years. I met Gerry in Vegas in '86 when we came from around a corner and literately ran into each other. I was more than speechless. He invited me to meet the band and he's been gracious ever since. I discovered these wonderful web pages tonite, searching for concert information. It's been great to see and read about other fans.
I booked AMERICA for our Montana Music Festival 5 years ago and they gave me my 15 min. of "Andy Warhol fame" when they had me join them on stage to sing encore of "Horse with No Name". Can't wait to see them again in Santa Barbara on 3/26. Do so love their wonderful music. Gives me happiness. Please forgive if this msg. appears twice, AOL seemed to stop me midstream on first attempt.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK AMERICA FOR ALL THE YEARS OF ENJOYMENT I HAVE HAD LISTENING AND LEARNING TO PLAY THEIR MUSIC. YOUR SOUND AND LYRICS HAVE HAD A GREAT INFLUENCE ON MY MUSICAL TASTES AND OUTLOOK ON LIFE. PLEASE KEEP PLAYING FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. THANKS
Hi! I've seen this web site several times & it just keeps getting better all the time so I figured I'd better take a minute to sign the guest book! I especially like the tour information, sound clips & the newsletter! Also, the guest book signing by Derek Lowery is real cute! I've been a fan of America since the days of "Horse With No Name" & "I Need You" & they are truly a fantastic group of people. To Gerry & Dewey, thanks for the beautiful music & I look forward to your upcoming cd. I have a feeling 1998 is going to be one of your best years (professionally) ever! Hope you do a show in Maryland this year (but you have to be the main attraction)! No more shows where you are the opening act--you're much too talented for that!!!
America performed in concert in Bakersfield last year and they were great. I have been able to attend four of their concerts now and I will never get tired of listening to their songs or seeing them live. Its no wonder that they are still around after all these years because their sound is the best. Tell me when you are coming back to Bakersfield and make it soon. I finally was able to get ahold of Van Go Gan and its as great as the rest of their tunes. America is always welcome in Bakersfield and its only a little over a hundred miles from all the members homes, so come on back!
After I saw this great sight I downloaded "The Last Unicorn" I went to see this movie when it came out because America did the songs. I had forgotten how wonderful they were. My wife purchased the video for me so now I have all of Americas published music. I love this band I have since 1972 when I first heard " A Horse with No Name" Thanks guys and please come close to North Carolina and I will be there.
Joe Knight
P.S. Does anyone know if America will be on Leno or Letterman this year?
I have been listening to America since 1971. Recently re-fell in live with Three Roses. Any appearances in or near Atlanta in 1998?
I have been a fan since 1972, I just love all the music that they make,however would be nice to see them over here in England
Hello ! from Tenerife, Canary Islands (Spain), my greetings for all the fans of America. Last year I saw America in Madrid and I could talk with them in the backstage and they´re great ! I´m 41 and I´ve listening to America records since 1972. Excuse my english, but I speak spanish usually.
Long time no see! My oldest daughter Madelynne is a horse nut and she loves the song "Horse with no name"!
I have been a great fan of America since their 1st album. The highlight of my life (so far) was the opportunity of meeting them in Las Vegas in March of 1996. It was absolutely THE BEST!
Thanks to Barb for setting it up - and Pete for taking good care of me!
Great Site!!!
I've been an AMERICA fan since 1971. Awesome music.
Great band ! Three first albums are masterpieces. My favorite songs: ` I need you ` and ` Submarine Ladies `.
I am 4 years old and my daddy sings me and my older sister to sleep with "All My Life", "Seargent Darkness" and "The Last Unicorn". I love to listen to America and The Monkees. My daddy says that the next time they come to Chicago, he will take us to see them. He says he wants to get a picture of me wih them.
After an extensive search I've found an America website. I think the first three albums America recorded were superb. Are there any plans for the band to come to the U.K? I'm also a Poco fan and should have my website set up soon.
I've seen America perform at least 7 times going back to1975. I met Dewey, Gerry, Woodsy,et.al in 1987. Truly nice guys.
GREAT website, Disappointing America didn't play Christchurch when the band visited New Zealand in December 1997.
Kind regards from New Zealand
Geoff Sears
I've enjoyed America's music since their first album in 1972. Through the years, I've seen them perform 6 times. My favorite concert was their 1978 show with Michael Murphey in Shea's Theater in Buffalo, NY. I've enjoyed this website very much. I play some America songs on acoustic guitar (intermediate player) for my own enjoyment. I would really like to find out the acoustic guitar leads for both "Riverside" and "Three Roses". If anybody knows, drop a line in this guest book. Thanks.
I am a big America fan. I attended their concert in New Orleans in 1997 and was thoroughly entertained. They played all their hits and all sounded like the original recordings. It was a most enjoyable time. Hope America returns to the Gulf Coast soon.
Great Web Site.
I've been a huge America fan since I first heard "I Need You" in college in 1974. I've seen them live several times and they always put on a great show. The first two albums are still my favorites, with some of the best acoustic guitar work I've ever heard. Keep rocking, Gerry and Dewey !!
This is a TERRIFIC Web site.
America is one of the greatest bands to come out of the 70's, and still be together today. I'm only 26, and have all of their LP's. Hope to see many of their early albums like "Hideaway" and "Hearts" released on CD, so I don't wear out my LP's. Hope America comes on tour to the Portland area this summer. Saw them in concert 2 years ago, and it was great!!!!!!!
I'm been an avid fan of this great group since school days and so happen to watch their rare concerts here, anyway thanks for a wonderful, and great page dedicated to this fantastic group, THANKS
I am glad you can all enjoy this great Web site by Steve Lowry on the greatest band on earth. We are all eagerly awaiting a new CD from AMERICA, please stay tuned in 1998. The latest & greatest CD from AMERICA is HOURGLASS & VAN GO GAN (Gerry Beckley's solo masterpiece debut). Take care & enjoy the music, it has spanned 3 decades so far !
To All AMERICA band members and fans:
Just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy and Healthy New Year. Lets hope for a new album in the new year. Take Care.
