Asked to share memories of co-writing the Journey classic "Wheel In The Sky" with Neal Schon, Fleischman shares, "'Wheel In The Sky' was a song that I believe originated between Neal and his dad. His dad was a musician also, and so he had this piece of music that he played for me on acoustic guitar. And so we started fooling around with it and during the rehearsals, when I first joined the band, he plugged in the electric guitar and we started fooling around with it there. Then I wrote all the lyrics and finished the melody, and then we actually recorded it in San Francisco, the demos that we did. And then I wrote 'Anytime' with Gregg Rolie, we wrote that at his house, he had this really beautiful piano there, and we wrote that at his house, and I probably wrote that like in 20 minutes, wrote that song, it's pretty funny."
