I thought the album was called Aereo-Plain, no? Just curious.

 

Yeah, you're right. Steam-Powered Aereo-Takes is a collection of demos and jams recorded during the sessions of Aereo-Plain. Steam Powered. I saw Hartford play at Mountain Stage tribute for him a few months before he passed in 2000, great song-writer, great musician, even better guy.

I don't have one but I have to say I wanted one but I ended up with a Jeep instead!

 

I worked at a book/music store up until October so some of those were pre-releases for us that the record label sends out us to play in our store and we get to have any we want! One reason I miss that job!
