Commander Cody

The Commander has left us at 77. I wonder what St. Peter said to him at the Pearly Gates.

Anyone who doesn't enjoy "Seeds And Stems (Again)" is a square, man. How many bands in '71 were hip enough to record Ronnie Self's Rockabilly classic "Home In My Hand"? Only they and NRBQ. Dave Edmunds recorded it too, but not until the 80's.

His extended version of Hot Rod Lincoln is always a joy as is his playing trombone, among other instruments. If he was a guy in the Commander's band, much respect.
