Pure Prairie League (Commentary)
I played with them when I was in high school, that band Mountain Smoke
I told you about, we opened for Pure Prairie League
When I was still in high school, in Oklahoma City
And, we just hit it off that night, we jammed together
And played on stage together and
And, we even- oh, it's funny, we got a better review, than they did that night
But, uh, anyway, uhm, many years later, this was probably three or four years later
I was livin' in Los Angeles, so a friend of mine was going out there to audition
And he said, "Hey, I'm gonna audition for Pure Prairie League, you wanna go?"
I said, "Yeah, I played a gig with 'em when I was in high school
I'll go see if they even remember me", you know
Go along and watch the audition and
And, I introduced myself to 'em, they go
"Aren't you that kid from Oklahoma that plays all the different instruments?"
And I go, "Yeah"
They said, "Would you be interested in this gig?"
And my friend's looking at me like, "Oh, great, thanks a lot"
And I said, "No, I really wouldn't", I said, "I'm playing with Byron and
Lovin' life here and, da-da-da-da-da", and
They said, "Well, come back tomorrow and just jam with us
Just come have some fun"
I said, "Okay", so took my electric guitar and amp and got to-
Runnin' all the way up and go play with 'em and it was kinda fun
You know, after a lot of years of not playing
Much music that really, you know, rocked pretty hard and
And, I said, "Man, I'll come, I'll come play with you for a while", so
Ah, away I went and made three records with 'em and, had a couple of hits and
Got to be on "Solid Gold", "American Band Stand" and all these
Crazy TV shows, "Don Kirshner's Rock Concert" and
And so for, for a young guy of 21, maybe somethin' like that
I was getting a great taste of what the music business was really like
What touring was really like with promoters and the-the-the real deal
You know, and it was a great education, I wouldn't, I wouldn't trade that for nothin'
And I had a, I had a good time, it was good guys
I told you about, we opened for Pure Prairie League
When I was still in high school, in Oklahoma City
And, we just hit it off that night, we jammed together
And played on stage together and
And, we even- oh, it's funny, we got a better review, than they did that night
