Our Song, Chicago’s Just You and Me. Kinda Schmalzy but we love it. Celebrated our 50th in April. Saw them in 82. Fun Band, but we drifted to Jimmy Buffett until he died damnit last year.

We did a lot of Chicago, Blood Sweat & Tears (first several albums, prior to David Clayton Thomas), Electric Flag, Sons of Champlin.

Terry Kath is one of the most underrated guitar players of all time. Jimi Hendrix cited Terry Kath as one of his favorite guitarists, and considered Kath to be "the best guitarist in the universe".

Wow, it's been a long time, but I just played Groovin is Easy. Mike Bloomfield, The Butterfield Blues Band, Electric Flag, geez. The music of my youth. I saw Al Kooper playing a solo gig at a club in NYC around XMAS circa 1995.

Thanks!
