Gold Here. SUBLIME - this is where all the soft touches come together. Bob is especially deft with the underlying patterns. Phil is perfect.

Gem buried waaay down the list - Jer delivers a solo that feels like he just barely pulls a rabbit out of the hat ... works for me.

Deliberate molasses baked treat...no hurry delivery with the seats tilted waay back, shades on, rolling along at 7mph. yes it 's that good.
