Hey I remember the glass stuff that you are talking about. This might
sound strange but I bet we talked because I remember talking about
sandblasting glass. I would like to see Rail again. Just last night I
was talking about them. A friend came over with Queensricht greatest
hits. He said that they are the original Seattle not Nirvana. I said
not listen to this and played Rail for him he was blow away how much
the to bands sounded similar. I always thought that Rail should be
the "original" Seattle sound band. I am still shocked that they did
not get bigger on the national stage.
