So I debated for awhile whether to embark on Year 2 of Five on Friday by calling this Volume 2 Set 1. In the end I decided that was silly. So Set 53 it is!
I've never really been much of a concert-goer, but I have seen quite a few performers in smaller venues like jazz clubs and such. Just after I turned 21 and could actually get into a nightclub to see a show, I won tickets from a radio contest because I happened to know that although Rick Derringer played the guitar solo on the single release of Free Ride by The Edgar Winter Group, it was actually Ronnie Montrose who had the solo on the album They Only Come Out at Night.
I never thought it was all that obscure of a fact, but I won the tickets after about 40 callers got it wrong. Go figure.
I was happy because I got to see one of my favorite groups, The Guess Who. It wasn't the original line up, but I lucked out that it was one of the times that Randy Bachman was back with Jim Kale. Alas and alack, I did not get to see Burton Cummings.
Stay tuned gang...I think there might be a round of Five Degrees of Musical Progression coming up soon!
