USED TO PLAY THIS TILL MY FINGERS WENT NUMB, & MY MIND WAS SOMEWHERE ELSE, WITH "PHAEDRA". NEXT CAME " U KEEP ME HANGIN; ON", ANOTHER FINGER BUSTER WHEN PLAYED AT OPTIMUM VOLUME. PLAYED IT TODAY..STILL GOT MY "CHOPS". OH, TO JAM W/THESE "PRINCES" OF ROCK & METAL, RECORDED THEIR "FAREWELL GIG" AT "ACTION HOUSE" IN ISLAND PARK.OCEANSIDE??(1968 0R 69) ON SONY STATE OF THE ART MINI CASSETTE RECORDER. STILL HAVE IT.
My groups opened for the Vanilla Fudge twice. Once with South Michigan Avenue and another time with STOVE. The audience was mesmerized. Never had seen that much energy and hard rock music ever before. One of my guys looked at me and said “the beast of rock has arrived”. Tim was with them both times. 1967-1968. Miss Tim. He really owned that bass.
TAKES ME BACK TO 1ST TIME I WROTE A " GREAT LOVE SONG" THAT NOBODY HEARD & STILL PLAY TODAY..LOOKING FOR THAT " VOICE" TO RECORD IT( NUMBER ONE POTENTIAL ON " HOT 100 CHART", FOR SURE.
