I found the How to Form a Rock Band book in the library. It was a pretty cool read, but after hearing one of their songs, I'm REAAAAAALLLYY disappointed at how they sound ha ha ha ha.
Holy Jeeeez! This is really awesome! I WILL I WILL follow the Piper wherever he goes! I love the way the toms are tuned---really tight, jazz style, as was the custom at the time. Sturge Pardalis really sells the tune...not an easy task! :~) And of course, the Piper himself, Roger Calleo, sounds GREAT! Too bad the sound mix isn't better. I hear drums, vocals and flute, but not much else! Overall, this is a GEM!
@parrots4ever Absolutely agree with you! :D He is such a great singer! More people really should know who he is. And this song doesn't represent his singing ability as good as the songs on the actual Forum Quorum album.
Wait, nevermind. Just heard "Misery". Good stuff.

I remember as a kid reading a book called 'How to Form a Rock Band' and this band was the example band in the book....

@Drumcam and, oh yes, those great couple of bars of Farfisa Organ are hot in the mix too.

While not a fan of his, I was hoping Ted Nugent would have shot them with arrows and dressed them on stage during the show.

I was thinking the same thing. "Listen...it's like a bolt out of the blue." Christopher Guest knows his shit.
