No way :(    I had not heard a peep from them in weeks , even on a car radio at night . That explains why no smoke anyway, just that other station.
Much of that music is truly headed for the dustbin of obscurity, some of what they played I'd forgotten about myself but realized I knew most of the lyrics. Oh well.
