"I'm the primary writer," he continued, "Andi my brother our drummer, two of them are his and one is the singer's Steven Osborn's. Everybody jumps in to help each other, I brought four to the table on this record but some of the guys have writing credit because they brought a lot of fresh ideas into what I already had. Historically throughout the albums, I've written the most but everyone does bring something else in, we all contribute. Even if I or Steven Osborn write a song, everyone helps in the arranging process or comes up with a chord change or the bass line may be something the bassist thinks of, so yeah."
Were the members all progressive rockers? What influences the band's material?
"Everybody definitely brings their own backgrounds and that's really diverse. When we all met, one guy was into Country, one was into Blues, one was into Heavy Metal; as far as Prog goes, for me, in 1982 I was a 12 year old kid and I heard Asia. "Only Time Will Tell" came on MTV and I was like, wait; what's this? This doesn't sound like a lot of the bands I'd heard, the changes were different and somebody said, "You need to see where these guys came from," I didn't know that was a thing because in 1982 there was no internet. So, I started digging around and Asia opened that door to Yes and Emerson, Lake & Palmer, King Crimson and man, that was like this gateway to heaven for me to that music; so, that was my bridge into it."
Long layoffs where "Life" kind of gets in the way can change attitudes, like/dislikes, create different perspectives or other changes in philosophy but there is always magic left in the proverbial hat when old band mates reunite. Schenck says when it comes to recording or playing live, he favors one only slightly more.
"I think for me, it's kind of two-fold. One was getting the original band back together, it had to be that. I love these guys, not just Andi because he's my brother but they are all like brothers to me. I love the studio but I think the others all like the live shows better; you can ask them, I could be wrong but I like the live show too, I love the interaction with the guys on stage and with the audience but I love the recording studio. So, for me, that process is a blast. I like getting in there and taking a song where sometimes it's pretty much what we walked into the room with and other times you change things; somebody makes a mistake and you go, "Whoa, that mistake is better than what we thought of" so you keep it (laughs), you just never know. I love that part of the process, working with the producers and the engineers, trying some funky new keyboard sound or weird microphone technique; I love that stuff."
Along those lines, bands can get very creative in the studio, sometimes more than they should, which can create some difficulties recreating certain songs during a live performance. No worries here, they rectified that situation very quickly.
"The five of us were playing, we were rehearsing, the album was done and a couple of months into rehearsals we were like, we can't cover all of these parts; who is gonna play that guitar part? Everybody was like, I'm already doing this and another was like, I'm already doing that. So, we started talking and decided that we needed to get somebody else into the room. We had a short list of three people we knew and we wanted a guitar guy who could play keyboard and we went with Scott Draughon and he's been playing with us since October; so, now there's six of us."
Now that the record is out and the Summer festival season well under way; what are their plans to promote and or market their new material and will there possibly be a follow-up?
"We actually are in contact with someone to possibly open for; I'm not allowed to say at the moment in case it doesn't go through and also some mini tours around the states primarily in Texas and Oklahoma because that's where we are but we're also looking at Progressive Rock festivals and psychedelic festivals on the East Coast, the West Coast and all around the states and things of that nature as well. We've got a lot of ideas floating around, so we do have a lot of music; all of us want to do it again so there will be a follow up.We plan on playing shows, keep trying to market it by doing these interviews, we're getting reviews from around the globe; we were told by a couple of radio stations that we actually have radio play in 168 countries right now. So, we're getting a little bit of play on internet radio and underground radio here and there but we want to play shows and keep it going. We love playing together, that's the goal; we just want to keep getting the music out there."

As he approaches his 70th birthday, Steve explores aging with beautiful, natural metaphors and a few man-made ones, such as the fun-loving "Purple Toyota," the album's second single.
