It simply wants to be the best in the worth. Its got a good start. Last year, Ambrosias debut - anu a minor milestone, Holding Onto Yesterday,Nice. Nice, Very Nice," the first rock tune containing lyrics by novelist Kurt Vonnegut Jr. This year. Ambrosia released its second, more ambitious album, Somewhere Ive Never Travelled. which contains songs about Frederick Cijopm and C cargo Sand and 3 myt lucsl muss whlvu lives iu Ambrosias recording studio. We have a lot of dreams. he admitted. "The same sort of things that go into creating the music also go Into creating a good live presentation.

It was the first time many of those people had ever seen a rock concert, outside television, one of Ambrosias members, David Pack, told me before the group played a conoprt with Lynyi4 jut I Skynyrd earlier this week at the Salt Palace. They were really enthusiastic about the music. Ambrosia is an impressive introduction to rock, even if you dont live in a Sevier County farming community like Monroe. The group consists of Pack on lead guitar, Joe Puerta on bass guitar. Burleigh Drummond on drums and Christopher North on keyboards. Together, they make a hauntingly lyrical type of music that transcends categorization. Were basically songwriters, especially Joe and I. We started Ambrosia as a progressive country group that's wher we wrote Holding Onto Y esieroay' and wrote times which we performed acoustically,'1 Pack explained. Wo oluinvs irv tohnvoa basic sons from which we work, which is not to discredit instrumental music because wc write a lot of that too," he continued. But the songs represented on our albums have that approach because that's what we think is important in the music. Although people like to categorize us as a Southern California group, we hope that we represent a new kind of Southern California sound Doing things right. 1 plush of black, brown, green or burgundy.
