Can't remember the name of a band.


There was a rock band around 1973 with a female singer and a horn section. The band members were all music teachers. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

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 ;-) .

I have never heard of Lydia Pense and Cold Blood, nor Genya Ravan and Ten Wheel Drive Construction.  Had to look them up.  Just a tad before my audiophile/music journey began...

Genya Ravan's band was called 'Ten Wheel Drive' - don't know where that 'Construction' came from.... 

@bdp24 - I was surprised to see that Steven Wilson did a remix of the second Chicago album....

Sorry, I cut and pasted that from @jasonbourne52 post above.  I had never heard of them, so didn't know the exact name.  Should have noticed when I researched the bands.  "Construction #1" was the name of an album from them.
