Oh, and if you were a local from the Springfield, MA area in the late 60's, you might remember:
Jac Veronesi and Friends
I went to high school with his lead guitar player...they were a pretty big area band, though.

Doobie Brothers -- a rockin' good time.
Cars -- what great songs.
Hall and Oates -- consummate performers.
Electric Light Orchestra -- technical wizards, haunting melodies -- my favorite group of the era
Earl Klugh -- sound-alike jazz songs, reminded me of the repeat process of milk bottles being filled at a dairy -- all alike, monotonous
Chuck Mangione -- great trumpet songs
Kenny G -- soulful sax
