Conv w/ Bolle / Q for Albert!

[Albert T Bouchard]

Sorry to be posting so late to this thread but I have to decide each day
now whether to check out my boc-l or work on the new tunes. I guess you
know what I usually pick.

This guy who's writing it is Don Roeser's cousin (Steve) and he's really
trying to do a good job. I'm supposed to talk to him soon.

blowing smoke I'd say.

No and no.  We played 'Lamb' on the Alice Cooper, Spirit, Mahavishnu and
James Gang tours in 1972 and it evolved into the Red & Black arangement.
The final stroke was rewriting the chorus and then we rerecorded it on
Tyranny.
