Nice find.

Pretty cool for this big Genesis fan to see one of Jim's influences is Genesis' Mike Rutherford's side project; Mike and The Mechanics. 8)

Funny thing about Mike and the Mechanics. Peter Gabriel supposedly taught Phil Collins to sing before he left Genesis, and they sound similar. Now this sounds like Phil Collins to me. Does everyone in Genesis sound the same?

Actually, that's not Mike Rutherford singing. It's Paul Carrack I believe.
