What the...???

Am I in the twilight zone, or does everyone know about this? Short clip, but I guess I am shocked because of how reclusive Perry was after 83...

Yes, Larry, I like "Fish Heads", and yes, Billy Mumy did write that song with a good friend, who is also the other "Barnes" in "Barnes and Barnes". Billy Mumy has put out quite a few albums under the "B&B" name. Google "Barnes and Barnes"..........

Bill Mumy (I was gonna shorten it to his intials ) wrote a lot with America. He has written a lot of songs period & also has written comic books & novels, too (if I remember correctly).
I think this song, "Can't fall asleep to a lullaby" came about when SP & Dewey (America) ran into each other at the Home Depot & decided to write together. This is when we need Lora & Cyndy to verify that.

"You've got Mail."

Yeah, he looks like he's having the time of his life in that short vid, huh?

I like to think that after all the "workhorse tours" he did, he can just relax, sing backing vox, and SMILE, for God's sake ~ y'know??

That's a cool clip. I've seen America in concert 2 times and they were good.

Sister Golden Hair will always be a favorite song of mine.

Takes me back to my young days in the 70s . Man, times seemed simpler back then. No computers, no cable t.v., no video games.

Just skateboards, pickup football games, playing army in the woods, and running from Bigfoot when we heard a noise at night . Oh, and watching out for UFOs, too.

Street-baseball games w/ neighborhood kids; rollerskating, skateboarding.....just being OUTSIDE until dark in the Spring and Summer...and having a BLAST!!

The things we got to do back then are so different that what is safe today. Sure makes you miss safer simpler times.

That's what Steve said,it's true. Both of them were living in Marin County back then and met at HD.

Highway Highlight (from the box set booklet)
The band liked "(Can't Fall Asleep To A) Lullaby" better. This sultry, midtempo number was a collaboration among Bunnell, Mumy, Haimer, and Journey lead singer Steve Perry. "Steve and I both lived in Marin County, and I think I ran into him at a Home Depot-type store," Bunnell says. "We became friendly and wrote a few things together. I started this song with Steve, and then he came down to L.A. to help finish the song."

Thanks for the back story!

[whocares]

holy crap! I didn't realize how old this song was. I love love LOVE it, since I first heard it a few years ago.

Gotta love that 80's SP mullet.

"...and, as long as you make good music, it just comes right around back to you."

Yeah, what Steve said.
