When Amyl Was in the Band
Loved reading the "raw" truth about the Raw Tones. One summer in OB back in the early 70s I lived through the birth pangs of Scat's lead guitar stylings as he wore the grooves off the Allman Bros' "Eat A Peach" album while he tuned in his inimitable lead licks. Later, the formative Raw Tones let me sing a verse or two from "Johhny Be Good" with them during the calmer moments of some of their garage practice sessions. I'm still proud to bear an original Raw Tones decal on my guitar case. Forget employing dj/mixers for social occasions. Hire live musicians. Raw Tones in Vegas? Better book them quick. A live party band is the only way to celebrate life's important festivities.— October 19, 2008 10:37 a.m.
