And if they don't... well, it's easy enough to fix in post production 😂 Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it.

Great interview and reminiscent of what many rock bands go through when trying to "make it". Lou hit on a great point about looking for a singer when they all wanted to just do covers and not original material. What so many don't realize is that the original material is what separates the ones who make it from those who don't. Granted, today, thanks to world wide internet exposure and streaming sites like this one, a lot of talented musicians are making decent livings doing covers, much to the joy of the original song writers, who get residuals, often times, years later.

@swcone 2 ай бұрын

Lou's comment still holds true about people in this area wanting to play covers to make money. I moved away to pursue an original career and found that I was much happier playing music that I created. I moved back to Rochester to be closer to family and when I got back put together an original project. Released a CD and had some great shows. I've had a record deal and music in a documentary which is more than most and from music I created. I put out solo albums often and enjoy writing and recording. Only a handful of places support original music. Almost all of the others want cover bands. For the most part most people just want to hear covers and could care less about original music. The only ones that do care are other original artists. It's sad but true for this area and I find it frustrating beyond words. I know my time in a cover band is coming to an end. It's sucking the life out of my creative side. I would rather play in front of 5 people playing original music than a cover band that packs the house any day of the week. No passion or emotion in playing covers. Its meaningless at least to me...

@charliec5653 2 ай бұрын

I think it's because people want to hear music that's familiar to them. That's great, but it would seem to me that if you really want to make it, you need to do some original music. Personally, I enjoy discovering new music.

That’s funny because I had the opposite experience. I was in an original band in the late 80s through the early 90s in Southern California. That’s when the whole pay to play thing was happening. Kinda stressful trying to “make it”. We cut a demo and had some overseas interest but eventually parted ways. After that I was asked to join a cover band doing vocals. We’d rehearse once a week and play bars on Saturdays. Basically get paid for goofing off and had a lot of fun doing it. My hat is off to you for sticking with it and sounds like you’re successful. I reconnected with my guitar player from our original band Salient a while back and we had the whole what if talk. I told him to look at it as, some people that play an instrument or sing never get in a band, we were in a gigging band and had a few pretty good songs and opened for A few big bands, we “Did” that. I wish you all the best in your venture. Do you have any posts on KZfaq of your music?

I saw Black Sheep open up for Suzie Quattro in the rose garden at Delaware park in Buffalo in a free concert in the mid 70s. There were tons of free rock concerts especially in parks back in the day. Lou mentioned they found a great drummer to replace him. I do believe that would have been Ron Rocco who would go on to play in a band called Light Years from Rochester that Billy Sheehan played bass in. They were great. I did not know who Suzie Quattro was but she was great that day. Turns out she was a female rocker pioneer. Did a killer version of heat wave. Owned the crowd. Black Sheep was great too.

Lou, thank goodness everyone involved in the accident came away unharmed physically. Not everyone in upstate NY in the winter was that lucky. Playing gigs and driving home in the ice and snow with loaded down vans was incredibly dangerous. Especially at 1 or 2am when the only other people on the roads were often drunk. We really took our life in our hands. And not everyone survived. In 1968 Ronnie Dio was playing in his incredibly popular cover band Ronnie Dio and the Prophets. Coming home from a gig on Sunday morning at 2am they had a terrible accident. Ronnie's cousin Nicky Pantas was killed and Ronnie was severely injured. It was horrible and it devastated the community of musicians and bands in central upstate NY.
