How come I remember him joining up pretty early on? I wish I could remember the
band he was in prior to People. I played in a band with a guitar player who went to
school with Tristano and his band. Also met Stained Glass through this guitarist.
My brother knew the original People Drummer, John Riollo. He got the boot when they
got signed to Capitol! Maybe because he went to Catholic School and they were all
into Scientology. I dunno.
I saw them play a few times. I remember once seeing them play at Willow Street
Park, walking distance from our house. Saw them a couple of other times too.
I met Stu Cook at my restaurant once too, but I didn't recognize him....Can't
believe they are out playing as "CCR"
