Jimi Hendrix gave Randy Wolf his name Randy "California" ( he was from CA) when they played together (another Randy was in the band - Randy Texas - he was from Texas). Randy C.s parents would not let him tour with Jimi (he was too young to be exposed to the sins of RnR). The drummer of Spirit - Ed Cassidy, is Randy Cs. stepfather. At 80+ Ed still plays religously. BTW, Randy C died in HI while saving his son from a riptide. In 1978 I met the band and they stayed with me one night after a gig because the booking agent failed to line them up a hotel stay. They had played at the Grainery in Granite City, IL.
spirit of 76....by spirit
Only in the mid 70s could one go five years after having a moderate successful lp...reconvene with half the original lineup...and then proceded to make a dbl with little to no commercial impact...that being said...if you are a fan of mellow, hippy/trilogy stoner acoustic...its a fun ride
