45 years later , The 12 year old is blasting Godzilla and BOC is still his favorite show! Oh He's been to Paul Macourtney Fleetwood Mac, Peter Gabriel & Sting plus Springsteen! And BOC is still his favorite show!

For a kid growing up in a cold, wet and gloomy town in Northern England the sound of "Don't Fear the Reaper" represented to me some Psychedelic West Coast dream - sunshine, hippy chicks and drugs - 6000 miles away from me.
What I didn't realise at the time was the bands origin was a cold, wet, Northern American town (New York) .... ironic really :-)
Great, great band.

Happy anniversary, Don!
However I believe that it was around 2 or 3 years before that i caught Soft White Underbelly opening for Jefferson Airplane at the Fillmore East...

Thanks guys. It almost seems like it was yesterday. When Clive Davis signed BOC to Columbia in 1971, I figured we'd make a couple records then I'd do something else with my life. What I wanted to do after making a few records was become an engineer/producer.
Five decades later, I still want to be an engineer/producer, but primarily as a hobbyist at this point.

Still needs 'MORE COWBELL" Based on my recording career, that's the first thought that comes to mind when I'm working on a tune or mix. |

And, if I recall correctly, Sandy wanted to be an archeologist... |

Funny, in 1971, I was 16 and had no clue what I wanted. I played in bands though and probably dreamed of life as a Beatle, lol...
