Can't remember the name of a band.

Old expression: "Those who can, do. Those who can’t teach." Don’t blame me, I didn’t coin it ;-) .

Cold Blood were.....hot. All the Bay Area musicians loved ’em. For a male-fronted band with horns, it was The Sons Of Champlin and Sly & The Family Stone. Chicago were (are) squares, like the guys in your high school marching band. Tower Of Power were/are too "busy" for me.

I remember Ten Wheel Drive with Genya Ravan, but it was Quarterflash I couldn't remember. Thanks. Also, I never listened to Lydia Pense and cold Blood until now. Good stuff. I can always count on this forum for music and equipment info.

I did love Cold Blood. Saw them live in Colorado Springs and San Diego, but they only had one female that I remember.

I bet Danny S from Chicago is a better drummer than you.  Even if he is a "square", however that even matters (none, in my view, talent is talent).

Sheesh, what a grouch.

Buddy Holly: "Jazz is strictly for the stay-at-homes."

I love Buddy Holly, don’t care for Chicago (corny music made by squares, no matter how "good" they are. Just my opinion, of course.). But that’s just me. I also love The Sons Of Champlin, some of whose members had Jazz influences (particularly guitarist Terry Haggerty. He played a big ol’ hollowbody Gibson, maybe an L-5). Champlin himself joined Chicago for a while, and finally made some "real" money. Sure, the old hippy sold out, but a girl’s gotta eat ;-) .
