Last night I was looking through my records and found one that I don't remember buying : Roadmaster. "What is this?" I wondered, and played it to my '70s AOR delight. Today at work I tried to find out who this band was and found very little info.

Then I tuned into EFD, who somehow played Roadmaster ! What the what? How? Who? Huh? Why?

In conclusion, Godspeed EFD and all the world's coincidences.

thanks for The Smithereens set, Evan. Was lucky to see them a couple of times at The Court Tavern — R.I.P. and thanks, Pat

It wasn't Fortress, the Roadmaster LP I have is their aptly named 2nd LP "Sweet Music".

I still think it's plenty weird that we both played Roadmaster within a day of each other though.
