I’m pretty excited today, as I give you a new band to the Laptop Sessions: America!
I got into this band because of this song and I’ve seen them in concert at least ten times, meeting them and getting their autographs on many occasions. They’re great guys and that only helped make them one of my favorite bands.
I love their album “Homecoming” and will be doing most of the songs off it in the future. But, for now, I give you the tune that started it all for me. Once I found out that this song was from the same guys that did “Horse With No Name”, I had to get the “Best Of” CD. After that, I scoured CT (this was before eBay was huge) for any America CDs I could find. I even bought some of the LPs. The band was surprised to see such a young guy asking to get those signed.
I hope you all enjoy this Session to kick off your weekend and stay tuned for Chris’ Session tomorrow! Also, make sure to check out the new Fusco-Moore Music page that will (hopefully) be ready by Monday!

I’ve decided to start going through the videos alphabetically to catch up, and while I did see this one a while back, I forgot to comment!
Great job! And wow what a good photographer you must have had along that night, capturing the moment perfectly with everyone looking directly at the camera =)
In parting, to quote Chris Moore (and if not a direct quote then let’s call it a paraphrase since I didn’t actually read the text message), “the horse’s name is horace”

That sounds like an amazing project! Probably best to go through them now before we get too many more on here. I think you’ll notice the videos get better as they go, but I’ll have to agree- Horace would be proud of this one.
