The band, Elwood, the band!

Keith Allen and yours truly, along with our special guest Jim Somers, make up the Leeward Rail line-up.

I get asked off and on how the band's name came to be.
There's always a story involved when you ask an author a question. No different here..

See, the leeward rail, (pronounced "loo-ard") is the rail of the vessel that, when standing there, the wind is on your back. The windward rail, (pronounced "wind-ard") is the rail of the vessel where the wind blows into your face.

So, the leeward rail is the number one choice.
And, it's the best choice for number one.

It's one of those little things you learn rather quickly...
