Glad to hear that his voice hasn’t changed much (though I don’t find it nearly as appealing as I once did). I also cannot believe that I once had a giant crush on him. Must have been the hair:o. I’m not really crazy about that song but I’d I wouldn’t mind giving his other new stuff a listen. I would also pay a goodly amount to see him perform with the old Journey again (as long as they promised not to play anything off the Escape album). ---

Good straight-forward video, showing he’s still got what Dylan called “A set of pipes!”. So good to see him back. Phun Phact, or not: Steve Perry’s _Traces_ album is a note-for-note recreation of the Classics IV album from 1969. Perry spent most of his hiatus from recording singing the first track of that album, _“Everyday With You, Girl”_ in the shower. There have been sightings of him, venturing out to play that and the title cut _“Traces”_ in front of Scrimshaw Coffee in San Diego (in a bad Weird Al disguise). ---
