@bdp24 Looks like you are not alone in that "6th member" opinion... http://theband.hiof.no/band_members/john_simon.html Al's Wiki info about Al Kooper leaving BS&T not withstanding, the Wiki entry for Child Is Father to the Man puts it more bluntly: "After a brief promotional tour, Colomby and Katz ousted Kooper from the band, which led to Child is Father to the Man being the only BS&T album on which Kooper ever appeared." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Is_Father_to_the_Man All explanations covered handily, no doubt, by the hackneyed "artistic differences". |
ghosthouse, one of my most fun gigs was backing Don (Sugarcane Harris) & Dewey on a set at The Foothill Club in L.A. (a place that booked pure American Rock ’n’ Roll and Rockabilly artists) in the late-90’s. Don & Dewey had been on Specialty Records in the mid-late 50’s (along with Little Richard), and had a couple of minor hits (you may have heard their "Justine", a real barn burner). Don went on to work with Frank Zappa, but hey, a guy’s gotta eat ;-). Don showed up for the gig quite high, and was a real sweet guy. Dewey showed up dressed to kill---a sharp suit and shoes, tie pin and cufflinks. We had no rehearsal (shades of Chuck Berry), so before each song their bassist (the only musician they "carried") would call out the key and "feel" (shuffle, straight-8, etc.), and count it off. High pressure playing! I love playing for real Rock ’n’ Roll audiences---they dance! |
