I saw this band around 1988-89; they played on a small stage in the basement of a restaurant & bar in my hometown (Fayetteville, Arkansas) on a Sunday evening, I think. I had heard the song "Common Ground" played on a local radio station & wanted to see the band. I was one of only a few people that were in the audience, as l remember, & the atmosphere was laid back & informal. They played a great performance (including this song). I talked to the band members for while, & they were nice people. The band travelled on a tour bus, & when the bus arrived, it pulled up near the restaurant right next to where I was standing, so I was the first person the band members met when they got off the bus! I bought a "Rhythm Corps" tour t-shirt at the concert, which I had for years.
