      "Carry On Wayward Son" is a song from the Christian rock group Kansas, from their album "Leftoverture", the only Christian rock song I like. "Put Me On" is from Styx on their album "Crystal Ball", the first album with Tommy Shaw. Both albums are part of the Spirit of '76 collection.

      I was surprised to see (especially after doing demos for other players) that you didn't use wedges or the like to secure the balls especially the last one as the wedges on either side made the hole larger and allowed the ball to move. My P didn't become unstable and B made it to the destination. :thumbsup:

      Easy fun, thanks. I thought it was going to be a very obvious linear route, but a couple of times I nearly went the wrong way, or let P go wandering off and had to fetch him back again. :rotf:.

      Nice and relaxing level.
    • D.S.Masters
      @gmacpro Actually, I did use wedges, keeping them wide enough so the balls fell in the correct places.
    • gmacpro
      @D.S.Masters - Yes I know that. I was referring to wedges underneath where the ball rests. Check out my card. It is your setup with the ball falling into a trough with two wedges on either side. The only difference between the two sides is the brick side is using a stone block (flat) while the grass side is using a wedge (not flat). I've induced a little spin in the ball but check out which one is more effective. When I make a level and R will pass over a ball, I add a wedge 90% of the time and if only B then ball stability isn't as important.

      Very nice path construction. If I remember COWS correctly, I believe it begins and ends a capella on the LP version, while the FM single most folks will have heard added an instrumental play out. So I like the way that PillR begins the beginning and ending walks from the frozen position. And since I like to learn at least one new thing every day, I did not know that Kansas identified as a Christian rock band. So thanks for that! :)

      @Don G Rowe Christian rock might be too strong a label - they're not hard core in-your-face like Stryper or Skyfoot, but most of their songs have a religious overtone.

      Easy, relaxing until you let P wander away on a mission of his own choosing because you weren't paying attention. Interesting dichotomy pairing Kansas and Styx. Have to agree with you that COWS isn't that the extended my enthusiasm for Kansas. I have more affinity for sticks but I dislike the Crystal Ball album. Primarily because of the seventh track. They could have done a dozen things with that song ballerina other than 60 seconds of Dennis DeYoung totally butchering Clair de Lune. Debussy's Suite bergamasque ranks right up there with my favorites. When somebody butchers it oh, it kind of makes me go crazy. If you can't play it right then don't play it at all. Or maybe I'm supposed to be grateful that he didn't attempt Passapied instead. That's my ten cents worth and I certainly enjoyed the level
