This was recorded 47 years ago, Neil could have been a solo guitarist of the highest order. (Neil and Pat are nearly broke..!) They NEVER wrote any of their hits. So when their tracks get played on the radio, or downloaded, they don't get a dime..! (The writer of the song gets paid a royalty, not the performer). I looked on their web site and they were selling, "furniture that we actually used in our home)sad, sad, sad... And now with covid, they can't even go on the road anymore...
Ray's right, I would love to hear Neil Giraldo really cut loose on an extended jam like this one. (Only with 21st century production, it would be awesome). Neil obviously has a good friend in Ray Benich. Ray reaches out to his rock star friend to say... step up already Neil, step up..!

Thank you, you are sooo right..! Giraldo could have blazed a new path for himself, Jeff Beck jr...
Jeff Beck jr, very cool.
Yes Neil, time for you to fly my brother, shaman, evolve beyond commercial success to achieve shaman.
Thanks Omar for the thoughtful comment. "evolve beyond commercial success", deep.

Neil ROCKS, but Ray's right. (At least issue a contemporary musical statement that allows you to really stretch out).
