Who was he with in 1981 or 2? I walked into the Agora in Columbus Ohio on a Saturday night and he was playing.... .

Not sure.. wiki says they were together 81 -85. Felix died in 1983, but he was long gone by then. Jack Bruce wrote " Theme From an Imaginary Western". What a great song. Felix could sure sing it.

Speaking of Bridgeport Ct., one of the all time great one hit wonders came from a band called Steam, who had a couple of members from the Park City...and New Haven.

...and speaking of Felix, this Rascal from Jersey was not a one hitter.

I know there is a one a day song rule... but i have missed several, so if I may. Mountain was at Woodstock. Joni Mitchell missed the pop festival, but wrote the song "Woodstock" that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young covered. Here is James Taylor`s version. I`m done, Thank You

James Taylor was the first Non Brit to sign with Apple records. McCartney and Harrison liked the demo. Here is the song.
