Comment: I like to write about the midwest and rural locations. I started writing about some classic rock artists brought together in some kind of, as yet to be completely thought out, epic cross-country journey. I always loved David Gates and Bread. By placing him in a casino with an unsympathetic audience, I hope you might discover or nurture your already well-developed admiration for Mr. Gates, Larrry Knechtel, Mike Botts, James Griffen ... Bread ... used to be my life was just emotions passing by ,,, then you came along and made me laugh, you made me cry ... ah-hah ... baby i'm a want you. Now you sing it. Steve Perry. I love to hear him sing and I love the Journey videos, especially the live ones, like one filmed in Japan that saw recently. Knocked me out. 'Separate Ways.' They were really incredible and together and on it. Ross Valory in particular was really driving things with the bass, and then Steve Smith on the drums, just a first-rate player. Jonathan Kane, the suave keyboardist, confident and adding deft layers of synthetics that allowed the band to push through the post'70's morass and poke through into the 80's with a full head of steam. Neil Schon tearing it a new one. One of the great rock bands, still continuing, with the noticeable absence of ... Steve Perry. The great vocalist. Enigma. Legend. Sandy Nelson. My older brother had some of his sides. Teen Beat is a Classic. Cheetah Beat, too. He was so early on the scene, when just the concept of a beat was as inticing and terrifying to a post-Eisenhower world clinging to their Perry Como's, their Mathis' and Gale Garnett's. Sandy made a lot of people notice the drums, and the pure California newness of it, at the dawn of the surf craze, John Mellencamp. I always liked the man. Stayed in Indiana. Made solid records. Fought for the farmers, likes to paint. What's not to like? Seems like a soulful fellow, and one worth writing into a midwestern tale. There are still more characters and situations to be revealed in Part Two, which will probably air soon. I should say that I'm not entirely satisfied with the story or my reading of it. I had another one that I'd intended to read, but this one butted in and wanted to be done. And so I did it half-way ... my way ... CPNYC1399
