Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Tim. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Love the classic stuff myself. After Kath passed away, Cetera took control. His vision was more pop, and less horns. Like I said the band lost it’s soul without, Terry. Appreciate you.

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the write my friend. They had some decent songs in the 80’s. But Peter Cetera took control of the group once Terry died. He envisioned a more poppy sound with less horns. It just never had the soul of the classic 70’s sound. Terry Kath was their heart, and they were never the same without him. Just my opinion. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Benjamin. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I agree. Cetera’s vision of the band was a huge departure from Kath’s. The 70’s stuff had balls, it had heart and soul. Killer live band, Kath’s blazing solo on 25 or 6 to 4 comes to mind. You know your music. Appreciate you.

Damian

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Keith. So glad you connected with the write my friend. The first album was killer, Kath, was an amazing guitarist. Hendrix himself, told one of the horn players in the band, that Kath was better than him. According to legend that is. lol. Appreciate you.

Damian

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, John. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Love them too, Terry Kath, was their heart and soul. Chicago after his death was a more pop/rock. Thank you for the excellent commentary. Appreciate you.

Damian

Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Kelly. So glad you connected with the write my friend. I’ve heard that Hendrix said that as well. So cool you got to see them live, that had to be an amazing show. Elite musicianship throughout that group. The man on the sly trombone, Mr. Pankow. Danny Seraphine was a beast on the drums. But, Terry was the man. He made the guitar talk and sing. He had a hell of a voice himself, very soulful. Thank you for the lovely commentary. Appreciate you.

Damian

This is my favorite write!! I was so happy when I read this for the first time. Still gives me the same feeling reading after all this time. You my love are my happy place. Even in the very beginning you were my happy place, you still are.
What a truly special gift you’ve given me with this write.

I still remember right after you posted you left the site for like a week! You big scaredy cat! Lol

How have you been, Thomas? Good to see you gracing the rooms here.
I thank you very much, too. It had some weight to it, when I was writing it. Upon my shoulders! Self induced of course. LOL.

Thank you, Tim. I sincerely try to make my writes worth reading to those who choose to. I have a stack never posted anywhere, because they are not good enough. Like most of us, it’s a hit or miss with the results.
And, I am not sure it is/was luck. Fortune perhaps. Luck maybe that her and I both found DUP, in the same time frame. Perhaps it was meant to happen. We get along so well. Same values, etc.
Okay, I’m lucky. LOL

Hey Damian. We did discuss if we were going to join SR, or elsewhere, or nowhere, etc. But we both truly enjoy the camaraderie of a nice site, and the reward of reading great material. It’s inspiring. As for posting our own material, to me it is like payment for what I get out of it from others. A trade of creative inspirations.
And thank you for the props amigo. It’s all a trade.

What a wonderful comment, thank you Curt.
Her and I both have a great sense of humor, for sure. Sometimes mine is a bit dark, but that’s the way I evolved. Life can have some pretty brutal moments, and humor goes a long way with helping to adjust how we cope. Yeah?
Her and I met through the joy of writing. That’s a great thing to have in common. The rest simply fell into place.
She’s a hoot! LOL.

I certainly plan to, Willow. She is unique. I don’t want any second places ever again. So I’m holding on to her.
And, I appreciate your encouraging words, a lot!

Implicated? Well we both are evenly guilty, so… LOL
Thank you my man!

Yep, fragile but alive and hopeful. Isn’t that a rush to be in?
It was a teeter-totter write for me, because usually I am quite stoic in person.
She broke that mold!
Thank you much, Romaj.

Thank you, Light.
It’s been a whirlwind in between the lulls of time together. Sort of story book, even.
Our challenge will be when it becomes daily! But I think we are ready!
