      We were fortunate! Loved my childhood, teen years. What great era to grow up in despite the typical political violence. Nam, assasinations, etc. Never felt threatened to walk just about anywhere alone. Even the racial divide was less violent in my case anyways. Sure some areas were poor and of course that drove crime not race as much!

At age 60 some friend convinced me to do it, when i woke up from recovery they gave me the news. I honestly did not react, to this day the only thing that brings bad memories is the chemotherapy. You my brother surely know how painful the treatment are. Did you do any radiation? I didn't, great doctors here in NYC. I'm limited in modern technology, my nephew found your comment.

    Clean and crisp...the horns, sax, flute, and recorder are so real you can hear the very subtle mistakes that make it authentic, unlike the computer-generated sounds we hear now. The drums snap, the cymbals crash, and the tambourine rattles just the way they are supposed to. It doesn't get any clearer than this, true unadulterated sound....I love it!

    Catch a painted pony on the spinnin' wheel ride
    Someone's waitin' just for you
    Spinnin' wheel, spinnin' true
    Drop all your troubles by the riverside

      BS&T along with Sly and the Family Stone created the first widely accepted horn driven jazz/rock/fusion bands. They were followed by Chicago Transit Authority, Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, et al. I always felt that BS&T got washed out by Chicago, and some of the more enduring groups, and never received their full recognition as innovators, in what would become the most influential form of music in the last fifty years! 👑🎸🎵🎺🎷
