Very Cool, thank you
Hi Doc Fix
ENJOY!!
I saw these guys in May or June in California at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in May or June of 1972 shortly before I made my way to Oz. They were opening for a brand new band called Little Feat (!) and Captain Beefheart. The Cool rocked so hard I couldn't wait to get to Oz to explore the rest of your music.
RIP Ross Hanaford. Totally underrated, totally.
Thanks!
