I think I’ve mentioned before that the random album listens are literally either a box/bag of CDs that I sit beside my desk and reach down and grab one to listen to.   Sometimes my initial thought is...”no idea” and then I listen to the CD.  I used to have coffee every Sunday AM with a friend that owned an independent record store (he and his wife retired/closed a couple years ago) and it was not unusual for me to head back home with a stack of demo/advance CDs to listen to(he didn’t want them back).  As a result that resulted in complete mayhem of CDs all over the place.   Working at home for the last year has provided time to finally get around to listening to these again (I used to listen to them in the car as a traveled for my job).

This brings us to The Dragonflys’ When We All Come Home CD.   I don’t have a CD player in the office (for the record the office is actually our dining room) so I either use Amazon music or YouTube (or some other service) to listen to the discs.   And low and behold The Dragonflys were a side project in 2005 for Rob Barraco.   It’s actually listed as Rob Barraco (instead of Dragonflys) on Amazon Music.

Crazy want you find in a box of random CDs
