Inner Thoughts
Clearwater, Florida

1966-1969

 All high school friends, the band was originally called Just Us.
Just Us featured the same members as Inner Thoughts except for the bass player, and David Muse,
who moved on before we started performing. Muse and Rick Roberts were also former classmates of ours,
and went on to become members of Firefall. David Muse now lives in Dunedin
where we grew up, and he plays with Marshall Tucker on tours.
