I love this track and the album, and the video is good to see. I was thrilled to note that you have a box with Kinks singles too - you have good taste - Rock on!

I knew Steve pretty well, ask Keith Richards about it; back when he came up from LA with Steve Jones to see him in Santa Cruz and sold him er...traded him... that black Les Paul from the Altamont Tour...... I auditioned for his band The Firm...all because their drummer could not a green card..went down from SF to see Scotty, manager ? producer.... to see if I could get the gig...with Marriott, Jim Levington, ex-bass player for Procul Harum, .......and Leslie West...down on Scotty's ranch I stayed...waiting... Santa Cruz..his wife Pam was good friends with a friend of mine; Chris Carney of Chrysalis Records A&R..she disovered The Babys...this was way before Page and Rodgers took the name "The Firm"....anyway Ian Wallace got the gig....who had played in Marriott's All Stars... and was now with Dylan in the Alpha Band. the first gig at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz Leslie West froze on stage... a total disaster...and the end of the band...Steve and I saw each other off and on..I was living in SF...at 1226 Masonic....right off Haight St.... the cat was one of the greatest singers in Rock...bar none...Page wanted him for Zeppelin, but the Brit Mafia owned Marriott and backed Page off...Marriott had so many demons they had to take a number and come back by appointment... but there's more to the story.... and how he died after Frampton tried to get them a record deal in LA.......and what item he went back to his place in the English Countryside to burn ...flying from LA to England.... went straight to his place ....had the showdown...and then died in the fire... Someday Chris Carney will fill in the blanks... hi doll.....
