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 -
Follow Ups:
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' -
