Next thing you know, we're off on the cosmic voyage.

Stephen Hill, owner of the Hearts of Space label, called and said he was looking for someone to make a "new age pedal steel" record. That was a light bulb moment, and this song was the first step in exploring that concept.

Browsing through these souvenirs of the trip can sometimes illuminate the future with the light of where we've been.

The bridge gives a nice respite into the guitar solo, and the credit for the ending's 'modulation round robin' goes to Pete Elman - I'm still not sure exactly how it works, but it does so nicely.
