But Greg Kihn has that same style. Keep Rockin!!!

      Oh cool Doyle, I had no idea he wrote anything besides music/lyrics..etc. Would you by any chance happen to know the name(s) of these novels. I'm really into reading books by musicians. I just finished reading Don Felder's book "Heaven and Hell...My Life With The Eagles" and it was really awesome. If your into reading I highly suggest this book to/for you (that is if you haven't already read it), I really think you'll like it a great deal, That is, if you like the Eagles' music and would like some Bio on their back ground and some of Don's back ground as well. Again, thanks for the info here, I appreciate it. #Trish
