"Absolutely first rate. I'm envious - a great original idea. The kind of original Sci-Fi stuff I've come to expect from Price/Stearns."

-- Roger Gregg - Crazy Dog Audio Theatre, Ireland.
Drummer Crowley is finally able to build the house he always dreamed of, a geodesic dome in the woods. That's because they finally released the three albums his band, Bent Sunshine, made back in the Sixties. So he's enlisted his son and daughter-in-law to help, and hired a carpenter.
But now they are finding that the inside of the dome seems to behave strangely. Drummer is feeling better than he has in years, and that carpenter, well, she's starting to look awfully cute.
