Listened to "Flat As A Pancake" (8-track of course) every morning and afternoon on my way to and from two-a-day football practice the summer of '78.
Band I was in played on the same bill as these guys. They let us use some of their equipment for free...and paid their sound guy to run sound for us while we played a spot on a big outdoor three-day show in Southern Illinois. Some of the nicest, down to earth guys you’d ever hope to meet...would bend over backwards to try and lend support to other struggling musicians/bands.
Never asked for anything, never got the big ego after that album (Flat As A Pancake) took off, never forgot where they came from. Won’t ever forget the kindness of those guys!
