Lots of hating on Forster. I thought it was a great interview.

@aliensporebomb - "Singing Melodic Lead Guitar" is a true homage' to Ron Morgan and Ron's family thank you. Tim Forster and the Shindig peeps need to revise this video at the wishes of the fans of wcpaeb not their name dropping "I'm sooo hooked up" attitude. Middlemen who may not play an instrument and/or understand what they really hear... The Harris Bro's, Lloyd and everyone else who use the popularity of WCPAEB.. should pay more respect to who got everyones attention to begin with...

Comment #1 -sometimes the passion becomes scorn per my comment below. Howeve, what this video don't make clear is that [1] Ron's signature sound and arranging are very obvious [2] All of the favorite songs of WCPAEB (per comments online) are partially written by Ron or #1 applies [3] WCPAEB Part One, Volume 2 & Volume 3 may not have ever existed without Ron; especially the two latter. This includes the popularity of such songs after all these years.

Comment #2 - To give credit only to Michael Lloyd for being the gifted arranger nod; is again a slap in the face to Ron's Legacy. When Ron co-founded Three Dog Night in 1968 and went into their first studio session; the compositions at that time were some of Ron's design [ I was THERE]. See post #6 on Ron's memorial guest book [ type in search engine "in loving memory of Ron Morgan" ]

Bob Yeazel confirms Ron's arranging skills particularly of their debut hit "One is the loneliest number".

I encountered Ron's playing on the first West Coast Pop Art record when I was something like 12 or 13 years old - I had not yet picked up guitar seriously yet. Since then it's very much come to my mind that Ron was an early pioneer of the "singing melodic lead guitar" style that some bands used to great success but Ron was unsung and truly a pioneer, an originator. He was melodic, soulful, and had a wide range of sounds and techniques which you can't say about too many back in '67. RIP Ron.

@drkbart Me too. First time I heard this album I was high as a kite on acid. Loved it.

@CosmicDean I've been listening to them and own many originals, since 1967 !

how boring.. Tim Forster asked us [Ron's Family] to provide info on Ron while writing his article for Shindig. We saved such emails and will be posting them in the near future. However, he [forster] chose to not use anything and did what most opportunist would do and appease the dogs that eat dogs who hijacked Ron's Legacy and claimed it for their own. Ron Morgan would piss on their leg for less. May Ron, his Music Legacy always live on and survive the suck it up asstard in this interview.

"Something of a cult"...sounds like a reason to run a story, I'm an "oldster" and don't care how Tim "discovered the band" because I was listening to them the year he was born!!!!
