"Race Among the Ruins" is another real "breath control" song. I have to really concentrate or I'll fade on "apron strings you pass."

I agree with Cathy on "Wreck." Additionally, if you play the song solo, you've got to vary the guitar's dynamics too. I try to change the guitar's volumn along with my voice, sometimes leaving my voice the same, but bring the guitar up a bit before I change my voice. A good place is on the line. "The wind in the wires."

"Seven Island Suite" still has a couple of rough spots for me. The whole "chicken to go" line takes practice.

I like singing "Soul is the Rock" but I haven't figured a good way to do the 'rain on the rock' repeats solo.

Welcome Seattle.
