I live in Pensacola, Fla. and my buddy, Craig, would call down from Chicago and tell us what was hot in music. The first Roadmaster album was one of his top picks. Smash and the boys rocked our southern asses off. Needless to say we oicked up the other albums as they came out. I still have them today. I wish they were all on CD. I read where Rock Candy Records in England may release the first one. I'm keeping my eyes out for that. Peace.
I returned from SoCal in 75,..that winter we went fron INDY to Anderson in my 56 Chevy, with NO HEAT, to see "FREE BEER",.."DUTCH WALL",..and "PURE FUNK" at The National Guard Armory,..it was off the hook, got to meet SMASH,
he looked 7 foot tall with his huge Afro, and his high heeled Disco Boots,..LOL
Do you remember the "Funk's Blast" parties in the parking lot behind Funky's Pizza King, 1971, 1972. Pure Funk playing plus other assorted guests. Asher with his huge afro. Good times!
They played at the D Chi house as both Pure Funk and Roadmaster for Little 500 in '76 and '77. I had t-shirts with both names.
the Adam Smasher LOVES US!
We were on 3rd st.and moved up to Jordan- there he was suddenly up on the roof of "The bombshelter" like the Beatles while a couple of bros did a double-inverted moon behind him.
crazy!
Too bad he wanted to switch to WFBQ- I think the wait from WNAP killed his career as a DJ.
Asaher...known him my whole life...are families are both from Greece..and my man could always sing...ELI'S COMIN..oh yeah!!!Pure Funk and Indiana Unicversity..he's always rocked..and we were counslers together at Kiwaca Camp..remember that Ash? TBJBA
