Fastball - The Way (1998) Fastball bassist Tony Scalzo came up with the idea for the song after reading journalistic articles which described the disappearance of an older married couple, Lela and Raymond Howard from Salado, Texas, who left home in June 1997 to attend the Pioneer Day festival at nearby Temple, Texas, despite Lelas Alzheimers and Raymond recently coming from brain surgery. They were discovered two weeks later, dead, at the bottom of a ravine near Hot Springs, Arkansas, hundreds of miles off their intended route. About the song, Scalzo said that Its a romanticized take on what happened - he pictured them taking off to have fun, like they did when they first met.
