The album does come up from time to time but as you say very expensive. Thank you for the kind words! Wayne.

It's very similar to jed the humanoid

Hi @530draven sadly not! We all were great fans of Grandaddy and went to see them play several times. Train of Roses wasn't written with them in mind but I guess their music was in there somewhere. All the best Damian.

Very trying time in my life right now, tominnc315 (& palebloomsandbeyond) so truly was moved by your note and felt compelled this morning to thank you both publicly, so - THANK YOU BOTH! Re Les's loss of life, I was obviously not present, but this is what I had been told decades ago and given my source as rarely inaccurate, it has been my belief it happened that way, so, perhaps family and friends chose to keep it personal or perhaps what I was told was incorrect, but I know no other version to share than that one. On a more uplifting side, I was absolutely enthralled to read that you did the research, listened to our music and wrote such a glowing report here - truly needed some smiles this morning and you surely provided those and, of course, the excitement of the invitation to share all this with the interviewer, well, what a tremendous gift that was too. Blessings to the two of you and all others who still hold some level of respect for New Colony Six. Final note is to suggest you check out a subsequent CD release after Chic, Craig and I had all left the Colony - them permanently but me temporarily. I did some solo work and additional things with my super-talented brother, Ron Graffia (stuff from him up here too but may be under pseudonyms...), and through extreme perseverance and dedication from a rock historian who is like a brother to me and knows more about NC6 by far than even I do, Jerry Schollenberger enabled said CD, entitled SIDES, to be released. It covers most of that material, and I was and AM especially happy for The RJM Band's recorded songs (AKA Raymond John Michael) to be placed out there. We did release two singles but my lifelong belief in the strength of NC6 management to have some say regarding, even if not control of the airwaves here when those were offered, led to little or no success for RJM, other than in live performances where we did very well and at the time had more NC6 founders in RJM than did NC6! Sorry for going on and on and on but once I got started, I felt compelled to try finishing... which I shall do next! At one point that entire CD was posted on KZbin but could not find it just now so check your sources - rare NC6 tunes, wonderful & extensive booklet and essentially the entirety of RJM's recordings if memory serves this morning! Blessings to the two of you and all others who cared and maybe even still CARE about New Colony Six... 🙏✝☮🤗♥🙋

@@NewColonySix-RayGraffiaJr. thankyou for that response Ray. Yes i care. I think i can get ocd lol so ive gone all in with listening and learning & will use your other advice God Bless you…..ill put you on my Prayer list. I had afib then atrial flutter for yrs but a Dr in Austin TX fixed me 2021 good since. The NC6 were a diamond that came close:: Ed Sullivan Where The Action Is American Bandstand etc. all almost. Just wow

@@tominnc315 Nothing to make a joke about but... would not Atrial Flutter have been a classic band name "in the day"? Thanks again and soon off the 'puter so please pardon tardiness if you respond again!

... who customarily had seven members when we found out that Ronnie, while a gifted songwriter and singer, sucked eggs on the keyboards, and added Chuck Jobes (see our album - Attacking A Straw Man's cover and backside) and stayed that way for years!

Thanks to the "anonymous" writer above, whose friendship and skills have been a blessing to me... Final note - the film is killer so go find it once formally out there!!!!!!

@@NewColonySix-RayGraffiaJr. Thank you for the kind words my friend.💌

Have been blessed nearly all my life - so appreciative of those who believed in us and unbelievable to still have such incredible support... thanks... 🤗

Incredibly blessed, super lucky and unworthy of such kind words... hopeful that you too have already and will continue to receive such consideration 🙏

Great lyric long heard in my head --- thanks to "Joe" = "Life's been good to me so far..." Numbers of releases where we have been included or presented solely has been beyond amazing - stupefying perhaps? Thanks to all of you who, like Greg who issued this invitation and you, billinglot4670, our poster here, who cared enough to include such kind words and have made such a time investment in us. Thanks even more to those whose pocketbooks led to production of the products and whose support after-the-fact made them at least break-even deals or actually profitable... ☮✝💲🛐

Me too!!!!!! 😉

Thanks Mark! Hope all is well with you!

@@palebloomsandbeyond6646 All good thanks Greg. I’m working on a new album which I hope to finish later this year.

@@ShiningHourPop Great Mark! I believe I still have your contact info. I'll email you.
