Swimming Pool Q's..."Yesterday's Rain"

One of my favorite Atlanta Bands...http://www.swimmingpoolqs.com/ The Swimming Pool Q's performing "Yesterday's Rain"

YESTERDAY'S RAIN

yesterday's rain is here for awhile:
is she the Mississippi or the River Nile
through forests that used to thrive
for the pages in the books of your lost archive?
so many things that life can contain
inside the sound of yesterday's rain
can't you hear her call
in yesterday's rain- fall: oracles are stones falling from your mouth (whose words belong to only me) in the shape of clouds moving cross the South (they're going someplace just to be) silver sheets of lightening make it clear (exploding everything we see) showing us the origins we share (in the atmosphere...where

on the strangest circuit she seems to run
like the broken wheel of a second sun
whose orbits start to close
on some world that's a ruse and sometimes a rose so many things that life can contain inside the sound of yesterday's rain it fades away slow like yesterday's rain- bow

it fades away slow
into rivers that flow
into the Gulf of Mexico
yesterday's rain
where's it going?
is it all gone?

Whos the lead guitarist?

[justpassnthru]

@corkywillis The guy at the front of the stage singing is Jeff Calder. He wrote most of the songs. The awesome guitar solo at the end was performed by Bob Elsey.

Thanks for watching!

YEAH !!!

You caught that, eh? Yup...even the cameraman can't avoid a little outburst every now and then.

hmmm. this came out looking and sounding good for a YT vid, Greg! new cam? different processing? dumb luck?

...inquiring minds...

[justpassnthru]

Same ol' file that I uploaded to that "other site". Just a little filler on the JPT channel to guage reaction. I think u2b may be improving :-) Plus it was one of those magic moments where everything seemed to work(during initial recording)...same cam!

Bob Elsey, just an incredible guitarist.

Nice vid, JPT. Shows the little seen (for those that have never caught them live) bluesy side of SPQ.

I like 'em. Reminds me a bit of BB Kings jams.
