Leave Me Note Under any of the Comment Fields.....I Love Hearing From You!

Well, I'm painting again tonight and I'll have an update on tomorrow's post as to the process of the Totem Animals. The hawk came by our place again today, she does everyday now. We both love it. Check out one of my favorite old radio stations. It's a rock station in Portland, Oregon called KGON. The address is www.KGON.com . There's a great interview that Iris Harrison had with Lydia Pense of Cold Blood. Cold Blood one of the rippenist bands out of San Francisco in the 70's. They shared the same horn sections with Tower of Power & Sons of Champlin. They all came out of the Bay area at about the same time. I remember an absolutely incredible show in Portland, way back, when I was in the 8th grade. Our neighbor Tommy Snodgrass drove myself (I was too young to drive), my older sister Linda and his date - (one of the Suniga sisters), to see Cold Blood and Tower of Power. Tower of Power had just come out with "You're Still a Young Man," and Cold Blood had released "You Got Me Hummin' " & "Down to the Bone." Oh man, I loved these songs, (still do!) and I was hooked on both bands and the San Franciso sound for life. Bill Champlin of the Sons of Champlin (another Bay area band - and I believe pretty closely knit with T of P & Cold Blood), eventually ended up joining the band Chicago, and he's still with them today. After becoming a musician myself, I eventually met of few members of the various bands and got to jam with one of them. Heaven, I was in absolute heaven. I loved great players back then, and I still love 'em today.
