Campaign to bring back Sylvia(Focus)

It\'s about time they brought this one back.
Anyone agree? If so tell the guys when you see them.
I know I ask Tim every show I attend for them to play it.
All I get is that goofy smile and a shake of his head.
Sometimes a lame excuse about having to practice it or some bs like that.

Anytime I hear Soulfinger I think back on the trip down the mountain @ North Baja Bash w/ you and Todd when we went looking for liquor and food listening to it from I think an \'04 Chicago show.

OK  A new kick ass Bassist and Keyboardist.
Time for this song to come back.

Someone ask Tim please.

maybe a request to tease it at BAR during one of his sets could lead to its resurrection :shrug:

If you want to bring back a classic, let\'s bring back Unmask the Batman.  It was only played a two times and both times at Donovan\'s Reef - 8/26/00, 10/14/00.  Unfortunately, neither shows seem to be in circulation.

Yes... yes! YES YES!!!

Sylvia must rise from the dead, along with Hope, Miles Beyond, Eat That Phone Book Coda, and a few Frank tunes.. Oh and King of the World and Aja!!!
