Band Bio:	Bob Boilen & Michael Barron have been writing and playing music together since they met nearly 30 years ago. The approach to songwriting for this project took a very interesting turn; on several of the cuts (Perfect Moment, Save Your Self and Phone Call) Bob sent what was essentially a fully-produced song without lyrics, and Michael came up with lyrics and a melody for them. (On two of the cuts, this happened in under an hour.) Michael's theory: "Don't think too hard about it. Get in the space and do it. Second guessing has kept me from finishing things for centuries now."
