I became a Baha'i before they had become popular. I first saw them in Phila-
delphia where they were the 1st act on the bill, i.e., they opened the night
at 7pm before two other bands went on. They went back to the apartment of a
Baha'i for some after concert food and gave me my first fireside. I remember
them telling me about how some of their songs got written.

Their first album is full of material from the Writings, but was not a major
label distribution. Their second album was more "commercial" and less direct
regarding many of the songs. The Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl albums had
more explicit Baha'i references with the former even having a quote from the
Writings on the back.
