Trivia!  Don't know if this has been mentioned before but I just came
across this researching some Happy the Man info.

Past and current drummer Ron Riddle of Happy the Man, used to play with
BÖC.

"Their second Arista album, "Crafty Hands", reflected a more 'raucous'
and harder edged side of Happy the Man largely due to the exciting
drumming of Ron Riddle who replaced Mike Beck, and a bit more guitar in
the mix than on the first album. The one vocal song "Wind Up Doll Day
Wind" showed some maturity in Whitaker's voice and was actually heard by
many future HTM fans during Genesis' 'Duke' tour as pre-show
music while people were being seated. This album remains the favorite of
most of the band members and many HTM fans, but both albums still sound
as fresh and original today as they did some 20 years ago."

In 1987, Lanier returned to the group, and Ron Riddle replaced Wilcox on
drums. BÖC's 14th album, the concept recording Imaginos, became their
final new album on Columbia Records in July 1988. BÖC scored the movie
Bad Channels in 1992, by which time Chuck Burgi had replaced Ron Riddle
on drums.
