Walk Away

James Gang from 1971. This song reminds me of when I had a crush on a bass player in a local band, and this was one of the few songs he sang for them when I was in high school. I eventually married him.

Let me be the first to say, "Cleveland Rocks." We attended the same grade school.

Did you marry him?

Miss Cellania said...

Yes, I did, about 20 years later.

How come he isn't in Wikipedia?

Miss Cellania said...

Who?

Spellucci said...

Sorry if I misunderstood. Dale Peters is listed as the bass player in the video. I'm a bass player, too. I looked him up, and found several references. However, there is not a Dale Peters entry in Wikipedia. If I have the wrong bass player, my bad.

Miss Cellania was married to Tom Kriss?!?

Oh, my husband was never in James Gang. I can see why you might have thought so from the awkward wording, and I'll edit that.

Every girl has that "one." Best to limit it to one.

Awkward wording is my main method of communication.

That singer sounds similar to the bloke that sang 'My Maserati Does 185' ... and his name is very similar too, and maybe that is what makes my eyes think he looks just like the guy from the Eagles.
Think he also did a song called 'Tongue in Cheek'.

In a monologue theater show in the 1990s (Helen Schoeni Theater, 80 seats, not counting the control booth), Lynn Able told the story of her divorce after a not disastrous but unfortunate eight years with a rock band roadie/engineer. She talked about him in friendly/derisive comic terms that prompted someone to ask her, "Why did you marry him?" She said, "When I was a little girl, my mother told me it's important to marry a good, sound man."
