Me on keys in CDR 1976 The Unknown Song

[TAE]

So crazy cool that I have video proof of the pudding going all the way back to 1976 Yes I once had long hair and played in a prog rock band...no seriously I did
A little slow but that 17 year old guitarist who plays some sweet stuff at the end got the attention of a few other local 6 string gun slingers at the time...a couple of who became a little famous later on...But in 76 we were all just young bucks trying to get in the game. Amazing times in La La land.

Man! Everything preceding the final guitar break seems influenced by The Moody Blues.

Moody Blues meets Yes with a bit of Camel

Well it was 1976 Yes, Genesis, Jethro Tull (Thus the name Cheap Day Return) , Pink Floyd, Hendrix, Moody Blues, King Crimson, ELP and several others were all influences to the band. We lost one member prior to this video who was a brilliant songwriter and wrote some incredible songs that went with him when he left. Bums me that we don't have any of those recorded... Crazy thing is he never really did anything musically after he left...a real shame.
