Bob Ringwald adds:

I was thinking the same thing.  The CD is packed away in a shed somewhere. 
I have not seen it since I moved out of Tinsel Town, 10 1/2 years ago.

But as I remember, even though there were great musicians on it, it did not 
grab me.  I was thinking that I would like to hear it again, 10 years later 
to see what my opinion of it would be now.  You know, your taste in music 
changes over the years.
