Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I find this interesting. I remember the band Vessel and saw them many, many times. I still have a Vessel cassette and some of the songs are a bit different than the ones featured on the MySpace link. I was in high school at the time you guys played at our church and you made a recording the show. Jeff Benson was my youth pastor. You may not realize it but your band had a huge impact on my life and I credit Jeff for helping me navigate the world as a young teen in the mid 80's. Perfect World, Sunday School In Hollywood, He Answered Me, Allabaster Mansion... All great tunes. Vessel kind of reminded me of Crowded House and you had a unique guitar sound that I always thought was the result of a Peavey Guitar. I heard one of the members passed away a few years ago (bass player maybe?). Something I remember after one of your shows (and this may sound corny) was that a buddy and I approached you and asked about your embroidered U2 shirt and we talked about how cool that was. Anyway, hope you are doing well and if you ever run into Jeff tell him Mike B. the former radio jock is alive and well in Florida and permanently out of the radio business.
