    I don't think a congregation could pull this off, but a choir could. And they should. In a church. This is a hymn to peace. I liked it in 1988 and I like it still in 2023.

    I saw this band around 1988-89; they played on a small stage in the basement of a restaurant & bar in my hometown (Fayetteville, Arkansas) on a Sunday evening, I think. I had heard the song "Common Ground" played on a local radio station & wanted to see the band.
    I was one of only a few people that were in the audience, as l remember, & the atmosphere was laid back & informal. They played a great performance (including this song). I talked to the band members for while, & they were nice people.
    The band travelled on a tour bus, & when the bus arrived, it pulled up near the restaurant right next to where I was standing, so I was the first person the band members met when they got off the bus! I bought a "Rhythm Corps" tour t-shirt at the concert, which I had for years.

    I was asked by Greg and Mike to join this band when they originally formed in 1980. St the time Greg had just left a band called the Plugs. Michael i did not know I was already leaving for LA for opportunities there. Looking back i probably should have changed my mind. However years later my band The Shy did some shows with them. Great memories! Common Ground is a "Anthem" type of song. Timeless and very good!

    The sounds of summer/fall 1988, another great song coming from Detroit.

    You guys made songs and melodies as great as the most popular bands back then… I don’t think you had a good promoter like you deserved you guys…sorry about that but you’re one of the best ❤
