Thanks to Steve Signor for sending me this. This is a board tape of a band I was in many moons ago. Live at Allen’s Steak & Ale in Scotia NY, New Years Eve 1979. We played a lot of cover tunes and had a set of original tunes as well ... got signed to .... blah, blah, blah... check some of the other posts:) I love this song and since I couldn’t come up with a drum solo even close to Steve Gadd’s on this track, I tried to come as close as I could to learning his solo. This was before all the licks were readily available on YouTube and transcribed in books etc. I learned it by dropping a stylus on a vinyl album.. repeatedly. I thought this was good enough to share.. hope you enjoy it.
The picture above was taken the same year.
The Lineup was
Edward Vivenzio - keys
Ron Cunningham - guitar/vocals
Greg Liss - bass/vocals

and me on the contraption you see on the right.
