in days long past we referred to kdvs as k-deviat - a good station still though you know my story i can rarely receive it - my long stored ess eclipse 500 series 2 heads in for repair next week - hope it's not terminal - will use it with my epi's (i think)
Follow Ups:
Best of luck in restoring your ESS Eclipse 500 Series II to their ess-teemed glory, pappy 1st! Here's an unabashed plug for Neal, of Neal's Speakers fame, who is a true reconing wizard. If ya come down da hill via Highway 80, he can be reached via Skip's Music. He usually picks up speakers needing reconing on Wednesdays. Take the Watt Avenue exit, turn south towards Auburn Blvd, then west for about a mile. Skips' tech shop is right near the entrance(left, actually). In the meantime, there are crueller fates than being enveloped via EPIs(;{)!!! ... KDVS streams their audio, & I think you'll dig Megan's "Cars-n-Chicks" show this evening from 8-10p.m. Lotsa garage-n-surf-n-psychedelia! From 10-11p.m., it's "KDVS' Top Ten". From 11p.m. to midnight, it's "Live From Studio A"! Shows are audio archived, via their schedules menu, for up to a week afterward!
i am sending the amp to mike zuccaro - he has access to a schematic - neal has re-coned speakers for me in the past - i purchased four original bozak woofers off e-bay - the four new (old) will go into the symphonies - the four i had originally in my symphonies need re-coning - won't be a bozak after that but still four very good but slightly different sounding woofers i can use on a winter project - here is a seventies quiz for you - if you answer correctly you frequented the same venues i did in the early to late seventies - sacramento's & davis' best and most popular band from 74- 79 was????
Thanx fer puttin' this hipster on da spot, pappy 1st! Will take the coward's way out 'n' say Steelwind, until Craig Chaquico got recruited into Jefferson Starship(;{)! Actually, I don't know if they were the most popular, but the Runners were technically the most impressive band around! Knew guitarist Henry Robinette through childhood bud Mel Nelson("We don't want no jazz hangin' 'round anymore; we don't want no jazz comin' in through that door")! Got to hang out inside their 22nd-n-H abode on several occasions! Still got a Runners' poster hangin' 'round da garage! Henry now teaches music @ American River College, when he isn't involved in Sactown's Jazz Project! B.T.W., a former friend used to have Tesla practice around da corner from his Fruitridge-area home!!!
steelwind was a good band for sure - lead singer diana harris' husband (bob) was our 'aquarian effort' counselor in high school - diana went on to do a one woman broadway revue type of thing
henry robinett was an old friend of mine when i booked music at melarkeys - saw what might have been the 'runners' first show with
skip moriarty from steelwind on rhythm guitar and flute at the original 'c street' saloon when it was actually on c street - burned down and was then moved to it's more familar location - my complaint about the 'runners' would be the same complaint i have against the more popular bourgeois tagg, another band that played often at melarkeys when i did the music booking - brent bourgeois and larry tagg came from dallas texas and had played in a band called uncle rainbow and would later form bourgeois tagg - both the runners and b.t. seemed to forget rock and roll's first goal was to be fun and then fun again - they were so busy trying to impress us with complicated works that the fun was often lost in the translation - the band i was referring to beat the runners at the kzap sponsored battle of the bands in davis in 1977 - to this day were henry to be asked about it he would shake his head and say ' how did we lose to these guys - the band was the 'skins' - fronted by david fraser on keyboards and bob regan on guitar with b.c cole on lead guitar and dale lyberger on bass - ed mann, the second of their drummers was first rate and much better than original member hal cole - regan is now a big time songwriter in nashville with a number of top ten hits to his credit -
How could I have fergot da Four Skins, pappy 1st? Yeah, both they & LaCasse seemed to be ever'where! Kinda like that Rootabaga Boogie Band(;{)!!!
have not seen larry gosch or bill horton (rbb) for years - at one time larry was a straight A student - a .500 hitter in high school baseball until, as he put it, discovered rock n roll - within a few short months his baseball career was done with, the bat replaced with a guitar - larry worked at skips music for a number of years and was in awe of henry robinett's guitar abilities - you mentioned tesla, remember their name before fame struck? -
Frank Hannon's Blues Explosion??? B.T.W. pappy 1st, just heard on Big Dave's Blues show that Little Milton passed away! Must be a heckuva party goin' on in that Blues Bar In the Sky!!!
nah, 'city kid' - i also grew up in the fruitridge area and at least one of tesla's crew went to the same same highschool as me though just a 'few' years after - little milton, never saw him but the blues is allright in my book - i did watch a good blues guitar face off between little charlie and duke robillard back in 83 - duke was with roomful of blues at the time and later with the fabulous thunderbirds after jimmy vaughan left - duke didn't know what hit em' -
