“Home” first appeared on my solo CD “Love Doesn’t Ask”, but only began being performed live by the band recently. Written with Johanna Hall and Don Schlitz, it tells a story of family; childhood, adolescence, marriage, parenthood, childhood again.

The summer of 1976 was the pinnacle of Orleans‘ impact on the pop/rock music landscape. The top-5 radio success of Dance With Me in 1975 and the resultant Melissa Manchester tour moved the ball well downfield, but it was the success of Still the One in mid-1976 and the summer tour opening for Asylum label-mate, Jackson Browne, that carried it into the end zone.
