I am starting to wonder about some ex-Rainbow members. Bobby Rondinelli seems to be the
only one with any sense. Chuck Burgi joining Julio Inglesias's son's band. Tut, tut!!!
One of their ex-keyboard players is now in Billy Joel's band, while another is fooling
around with Madonna.
How the mighty have fallen!
