I was a teenager in the 1970's, and America (the band) was accepted & played often in our Southern California home. Their music became a tradition on desert camping trips in the 1970's & 1980's. Those were such fun, simple times. I'm not saying America will always be related to "Horse with no name," actually I enjoyed all of their other albums that seemed to start with the letter "H". America CDs are still required listening on road trips to this day. I saw them in concert at John Ascuaga's Nugget in 1999, Sparks, Nevada, but don't recall if Dan Peek was there. Anyway I really enjoyed their music & Dan's part in that. Thanks Dan for your work.
