Dear Frank: I had first discovered your music when your first album was released (as I was (and still am) heavily into Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and later, Robin Trower) and was honored to have seen you in concert in your early days (I believe it was at the Paladium in NYC in the early '70s). I still own your first 5 albums, having purchased them one after the other as they were released, but then I got busy in the pro audio manufacturing field (working for Sound City amps, Melotron keyboards, Kelsey mixing consoles, SMF power amps, Crest Audio power amps, Sennheiser microphones, and others over the years) and had difficulty finding additional releases, and stopped hearing news of you and your band. Not knowing that you were still around (releasing albums and performing, that is), I casually started seeking your material on CD (I'm behind the times with my CD collecting) and wasn't able to find anything. Now that I know that your material is actually available on CD, I promise that I'll look harder.
