    Here is one that was under my radar, I know this song but never paid any attention to the band. Amazon has 52 albums available. 803 mp3 downloads.

    R.I.P. I Got A Line On You was a huge favorite of many, and covered by lots and lots of up and coming bands.

    Wow - I didn't realize he was that old! I remember when I first hear "I Got a Line On You" back in the day I was blown away. Didn't know Randy California drowned 15 years ago either.

    RIP Ed

    Damn...

    Spirit's "Twelve Dreams..." is another of the 50 or so LP's in my all-time top 20...

    Those of us of a "certain age" will have to become more accustomed to our music heroes leaving us behind...
    More later,
    Tour...

    ".... of Dr. Sardonicus". Yeah, a lot of groups back then have members making the jump now. GD, Paul Mcartney is 71 years old !
    And yet, Keith Richards lives on and on and on.
