I really like David Byron era Uriah Heep.
 

LOVE Heep period. It all works pretty well. Got one of my nicknames from "The Wizard" (can ya guess Haha)

Got Demons n' Wizards playing now! Great fucking album.

Then at the dead of midnight
As we watched the dancing firelight
The air grew cold
And seemed to dull the flame
The fire died
The music faded
Filled with fear of death we waited
For now we knew
Some evil was to blame...

  The song that got me into Heep...

another favorite of mine:

"There I was
On a july morning ..."

I know I'm an old guy and some these people some of you may have never heard of. That's okay. I'll take a geritol and chill.

I have met Dave Clark from the Dave Clark Five ("I like it like that".)

I have met the Associations ("Along Comes Mary".)

I have met Ray Wylie Hubbard (he wrote "Redneck Mothers".)

I have met Arlo Guthrie ("Alice's Restaraunt".)

I hav met Bugs Henderson (a local Texas rock legend.)

A band I auditioned for, XLR8, included a nephew of Harry Chapin ("Cat's in the Cradle".) The nephew, George, had also been in a local Texas legend, Silverado.

I have met John Kay of Steppenwolf.

I have met the Nelson twins.

I have met Ted Nugent and have two autographed books from him. "God, Guns, and Rock and Roll" and his cookbook, "Kill it and Grill it."

I love this list....everyone... ..Im taking Geritol too, i guess....
Really impressed with the Arlo meet......City of NO.....tops one of the greatest songs written....

Have I got a story for you. I met him about 10 years ago at Poor David's Pub in Dallas on Lower Greenville Avenue. He told the story.

One night, he was playing a coffee house and played two sets. He was packing up his things to go home and the manager said that young man had a song for him to hear. Arlo said, "I'm tired, I've been singing my own songs." the managers aid that the young man would buy him a beer if he would just listen. Arlo said, "Fine, I will listen while I drink the beer and then I am going home."

The song was "City of New Orleans." He had almost walked out on his biggest commercial hit, though he did well with "Alice's Restaraunt" and the "Motor-cycle song (the significance of the Pickle.)"

"The conductor sings his songs again.
The passengers will please refrain.
This train got to disappear in railroad blues.

Good morning, America, how are ya?
Say, don't you know me?
I'm your native son.

I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans.
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done."

I met Dave Clark a few times in the late 80's, when I was a bouncer at a club at night.

"Catch us if you can" by the Dave Clark 5.

This performance was in 1965, one year after I was born. But I grew up with this kind of music, too. No wonder I've got a thing for melody.

You seem to be lucky.
