I’ve been listening to SAC for probably ten years or more. Since college.I heard Incense and Peppermints at an antique mall and was a fan from the opening chord. Great harmonies! Absolute favorite songs are Barefoot in Baltimore and Tomorrow. But I’ve never heard an SAC song I don’t love. I live in the southern states so I haven’t seen a live show yet but I just wanted to let you all know your music is reaching the younger generations… well, me at least. Really appreciate your unique style and songwriting, and draw a lot of inspiration from your records. Every time an SAC song comes on, instant boost for my mood. Instant smile. The new music is just as great. That 6-minute track was mesmerizing. Great stuff.
