sam' lost bands

Did you ever wonder what happened to Rick Derringer? Well he is still alive and well and a great guitar player. Hang On Sloopy was his first hit with the McCoys then he went solo for Rock And Roll Hoochi Coo.  But did a lot of work with Johnny and Edgar Winter...

UFO was a band to contend with back in the seventies and never got the recognition that they deserved. Pete Way of Fast Way was  their bass player. And Michael Schenkr left the Scorpions to become their guitar player and still played with them as late as 2002 Sharks album...

Today's lost band is a band out of England that had a couple of prominent players that moved on to great things. One of them was Gary Wright who did well as a solo artist. And the other was Mick Jones best known as the founding member of Foreigner...

This band had a major hit in the seventy's with a song called Mind Bender a song about a talking guitar in a pawn shop. But they had a lot of good songs such as Sam's Jam and this one Women Beautiful Women. There were a lot of great bands that didn't get the airplay that they deserved back in the day because of several reasons...

It is kinda funny that I like Rare Bird so much because they didn't have a guitar player and I am a guitar kinda guy. But when I was young my cousin Dane turned me on to these guys and a few other things at the same time. I'm sure you can figure what the other things might have been...

Today's lost band is a band that was large back in the seventies. They weren't a hard rocking band but they were a great band that filled the airwaves at one time. When they came to Billings and played The Rimrock Auto Arena it was a great show...

Today's lost band is a great blues band that most people have forgotten or don't think is important. But to me these guys are some of the roots to rock and roll. It is sad that bands like Savoy Brown don't make the play list at radio stations because someone at the top thinks you can only play top forty songs but that is the way of corporate America and there is nothing the little guy can do about

Dust was a band from the late 1960s with Richie Wise and two teenagers Kenny Aaronson and Mark Bell. The group only released two albums, they later became of historical interest to collectors interested in early American heavy metal. In the mid 1970s Bell worked with the Backstreet Boys and in 1978 he joined the Ramones as Marky Ramone...

This band made it big back in the early seventies with the song DOA. But they had other good music and were a talented band. A lot of people have just forgot about them but not me. The song we have here was on the Bloodrock two album and it's called lucky in the morning...

Todays lost band is UFO. They have been around for a long long time and put out some good new music but don't seem to get any radio play. The song I have picked today is from their cd Walk On Water and it is a great cd that came out in 1995...

Here is a band from my old stompin grounds of St. Louis. They were a progressive rock band and did well in the 70s. Their lead singer was Terry Littrell who was the first singer for REO Speedwagon. Sometimes I miss the old progressive bands as they always had a sound of their own...

Today's lost band is Blackfoot well sort of. It's Ricky Medlocke and Blackfoot. When Ricky was with this band the original Blackfoot was no more and will never be again as Jackson Spires is no longer with us. Rick had picked up some music slingers from Mi...
