About St. Petersburg College:
In 1927, St. Petersburg College (then known as St. Petersburg Junior College) became Florida's first private, non-profit, two-year school of higher learning located in downtown St. Petersburg. Full accreditation followed in 1931 and in 1948 SPC became a public college.
In June 2001, SPJC officially became St. Petersburg College when Florida's governor signed legislation making it the first community college in Florida to offer four-year degrees. On Dec. 11, 2001, the college received the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' accreditation to offer courses leading to bachelor's degrees.
In 2002, St. Petersburg College began offering courses leading to bachelor's degrees in Education, Nursing and Technology Management. The college's commitment to its two-year curriculum, which has earned it wide recognition and annually wins it high national rankings, remains as strong as ever.
Today, SPC has eight learning sites throughout Pinellas County and recently became the first college in Florida to offer a four-year degree in Dental Hygiene. This program's offerings augment its two-year program, which has been in operation since 1963. SPC added four-year degrees in Veterinary Technology, Public Safety Administration and Orthotics and Prosthetics in 2005.

[@TheBennie102103]

[@1964GUITARGUY]

Just saw Firefall and Ambrosia at Penns Peak (Jim Thorpe,Pa.) Absolutely perfect night. Although the crowd was small due nto upcoming Hurricane Sandy, I want to thank Firefall and Ambrosia for a great great evening of some of the best music ever written :}

(DID I HEAR U CRY THIS MORNING:DIDN'T I HEAR U WEEP< DIDN"T I HEAR YOUR VOICE THIS MORNING< BUT THE WORDS WERE NEVER CLEAR< IF U JUST WANT TO CRY TO SOMEBODY< DON:T CRY TO ME< NO:A STRANGE WAY TO TELL ME YOU LOVE ME"< DON"T CRY TO ME>":TODAY, YES, IT DAWNED TO THOUGHTS OF YOU. DO I STILL MISS YOU?. YOU WILL NEVER KNOW. DEEP WITHIN THE RECESSES OF MY BRAIN, REMNANTS OF US STILL REMAIN, TO BE CALLED UPON ON CERTAIN MOMENTS, WHERE ONLY YOU ARE ABLE TO FILL MY NEEDS FOR THAT MOMENT, THEN TO RE-ENTER THE SUBTERRANEAN DEPTHS , READY TO BE SUMMONED UPWARD AS NEEDED, ALWAYS THERE LIKE MY ROCK OF GIBRALTAR.

[@savannahpotts4378]

I LOVE YOU GUYS

[@fredthejunkman]

Great song, but the bass player's vocals are not good. He can't seem to stay on pitch.

[@TheScorps3]

could someone PLEASE get Firefalls----HEADED FOR A FALL on you cant get it nowhere for some reason its wonderful thanx

[@SteveEcksteinDouglasDrive]

WITHOUT QUESTION, THIS IS EVELYN FROM THE "BLUE MARTINI"

[@william6223]

Short video of the actual Firefall kzbin.infoeeDcpznKUfY?si=w4cDOQHDCYObCG8A

[@MrSakolphan]

I love these guys they bring back memory of a innocent times when our economy was good, unemployment was low, no bull shit war with afghan and saturday morning cartoons was the best. Their music is as creative as the likes of Gerry Rafferty, Cat Steven, Ambrosia, Chicago and Santana but now sadly we live by technology that we depend on and the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. Hope Armageddon comes someday so we all don't have to suffer even more.

[@tonythigpen6129]

yo, wheres the damn drums ???? when that snare cracks, thats the Signature of this song...

[@ilovemusic2much11]

What a good song.

[@greensox57]

That is really good; the singer's kept his voice.

[@DEPARTUERS19]

love this song.................god bless music

[@lenavera33]

the best singer, the best band and the best song

[@john31961]

what a great group how the years have past .

[@tuesti1765]

Que buena musica los felicito geniales saludos desde mexico ... mike tuesti gooooooood, music.....

[@Kcorcor100]

Nice, but this live version doesn't quite cut it without the flute. Still, an alluring song.

[@jefftatchio6091]

Love Firefall ... still play it regularly... missed the flute but it was a good set

[@nickmalone3143]

Ok the falsetto near the end was creepy and a strange way

[@lenavera33]

ustedes tienen el mejor cantante que he conocido,todos son geniales y adorables,pura perfeccion

[@Kcorcor100]

nsman06. Those are new chords to me, too. I see a D minor in there, but that's all I recognize. Maybe a D add B? Odd stuff. Maybe he's using an alternative tuning.

[@RichardCrews]

maybe singing in a lower key because of age??? Sounds damn good regardless.

[@nsman06]

Hey what happened to the original lead singer?

[@tommy..980]

He had a head injury and lost his ability to sing and also his motor skills

[@marisha4sure]

Strange line up with only Jock Bartley from the original band. Still sounds good though.

[@lollyklock8808]

right pretty much just remember i love you an d itll be all right thats all that i can say blah blah i tell my kids all the time they are the gods lol they make the rules

[@boofsmom436]

You seem to have forgotten about Vietnam.

[@lenavera33]

[@SuperJnielsen]

Love, love this song. so well written!!

[@oldandolderstill]

[@TheEnlytened1]

I'll be taking this song to different star systems for sure.

[@BimMorrison]

The thing I like about the '70s era or commonaly known as the "classic rock era" is that you can take away the processing and the vocalist STILL SING & SOUND EXCELLENT! My only problem with this version: too much conga--not enough firefall!

[@33891405]

What a great Song and great time for Music .. I wish we go back to the time when songs like this were coming out and the Lyrics were awesome and moved you... "Music is the sigh of the oppressed masses it is the heart in a heartless world" We just don't see much with heart and soul like we did back in the day...

[@hadoenough]

Vocals spot on ....wow

[@debrawalde1107]

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

[@monteferrante1117]

vocals off abit

[@patm5086]

yeah, guitars are out

[@elizabethtodd5267]

Wrong singer....

[@elizabethtodd5267]

Rick Roberts is standing right next to him, why is he not singing?

[@RichardCrews]

Maybe he can't hit those high parts as the other guy is doing so well.

[@captainamerica4685]

what happened to the original singer? The song just doesn't sound the same without the original singer.

[@mikewesley3670]

He be old. Nobody sounds like they did 40 years ago. I know not the same guy.

[@barbhansen4430]

+Mike Wesley I wondered, too

[@bigbluemsp]

+Mike Wesley boz Scaggs sounds identical as does Jay Black and he's been around 50+ years singing..

[@RichardCrews]

@@bigbluemsp Many factors, not just age, can negatively affect a singing voice. Some singers make positive health changes and actually practice vocals and do warm up exercises. Others age, drink, spoke and do nothing to maintain their voice. Some is simply genetics.

[@lindaincolorado2646]

I read that he had a head injury and can no longer sing.😢
