WHAT FLOWS ?!?

Whilst on my travels distributing the first edition of Creem Magazine (that newspaper we all know and love!), I happened to arrive at a desolate little night spot that goes by the name of Crows Nest West. The management welcomed me in and was very nice all around. His name was Ron and he must be a great guy to have around for public relations! After the usual business transactions I sat with my Coke and cohorts to enjoy the first set of one band called the Flow.

The Flow consists of only three members...Gary Bosch on lead guitar, Stanley Mackres on drums, and Mr. Fred Vocino on bass guitar. These boys have been together for eons playing at local dances and stuff but just can’t seem to make that big break into “Pop Stars”. One thing that held them back was the lack of a half-way decent lead singer. After trying five hundred different guys they decided that one of them would have to do it. Gary was elected and has gotten into it quite welt. His voice isn’t what you’d call pure silk but it does the job and besides most of the time he lets his guitar sing for him...and it does beautifully. I don’t know what else to say in order to convey how well they play. Stanley lives for drums! If a good song is being played six hundred miles away Stan can pick up the vibes and get into it along1 with them. Fred is there keeping everything right in order... they couldn’t get along without him and I doubt if they would ever try. Now we come to Mr. Boy Genius. I hope he doesn’t" get ahold of this... from what I hear his head goes through these helium expansion, attacks every time' someone mentions his fabulous talent... which I am about to do. I don’t know how long he’s been into guitar but no matter, it was long enough to give Detroit one of the best guitarists in a long time. His guitar is Gary and Gary is his guitar. If he’s listening to a record and quite often when he’s not, he sings leads. You know...he makes guitar noises with his mouth. Don’t think his instrument is neglected-mot by a long shot! When he’s with that, jt’s1 his vocal chords, larynx, and anything else that has to do with the voice. So now you know that they are great musicians what else can I say except to fell you what you might expect if you happen across this motley crew in your weekend night adventures. They are mostly blues with a little Beck. Quite a combination, that. Thpy haven’t gotten around to composing many songs but the one(s) they do are good. I think the part f dig the rnost is whenthey really get into a number and all of a sudden it’s riot that number anymore...we thert get a taste of jamming that’s really unbelievable!
