During the late 60's, The Sons of Champlin were certainly one of the
most
musically progressive bands on the west coast or anywhere else. Bill
Champlin's song writing talent was on par with anyone and he was also a
great singer, B-3 player and guitarist who took many solos on the Son's
recordings.

A lot of musicians I knew idolized these guys. They were taking the
game to
a new level as there were many jazz influences in their music. I
personally
dreamed about playing with musicians of this caliber and in 1974, I got
my
chance.
