The thing I dug about GFR was how R&B rooted their sound was... like my (UK) compatriots Humble Pie around Smokin' and Eat It era. It's immortal. Long live all who have a R&R soul.

I was hooked the first time I heard "Time Machine". I was on my paper route in the fall of 1969 and in the 7th grade. From one of the a houses on my route I heard this garage band cranking it out. I immediately went out and bought "On Time". The rest is history. I first saw them when Freddie King opened for them on December 10, 1972 at the Baltimore Civic Center and then again the next summer at the Omni in Atlanta when then sang of the this tour in the song "American Band". Mark Farner was the hero for me and my two best buds, Bones and Herford. GREAT MEMORIES!

Think of all the other singers his same age that Mark's pipes have outlasted--Robert Plant, Rod Stewart, Roger Daltrey, Ian Gillan, Steve Perry, Steve Walsh, Mickey Thomas. All them can barely croak now...On the female side, Ann Wilson is still going strong!
