I'll bet that you'd be blown away if you listened at this point. They did a double album I got in Italy 30+ years back. If you're serious, I'll shoot you a CD. Another Kooper piece that is still awesome is the first Blood, Sweat and Tears album, not the one with David Clayton Thomas. There are two blues cuts on that album that will stand your hair (or in my case, scalp) on edge. Timeless delights!

When I think about Bloomfield/Kooper, it is that first BS&T album that comes to mind. In those days I played trumpet and worked with several horn bands. There was another album from that period you might remember — I sure do — by a group called "Electric Flag".

In my music career, I played a lot of BS&T and Chicago (up to about their fourth album, if memory serves). Smoked a lot of shit, talked a lot of trash, and remember snatches of it from time to time.

didn't play on the first BS&T album. He and Kooper didn't play together until the first Supersession album. You smoked a lot of what? Personally, I've never broken the law, Geechie. It's still great music; you just rarely hear it any more. Lost in space, like so many of our former comrades?

I drank the bong wine once many moons ago, it was not good.

bong wine has been proven by the FDA to cause incontinence in impending retirees. Better get an Aerostich.
