I saw the shooting star burning so bright. Falling, falling, fading and soon from sight. So distant and yet so near. In its wake, a soldiers journey so very clear. Duty, sharing, caring, courage and sometimes fear. No longer a mortal in lifes short race. A contented spirit bound for home somewhere in distant space. This fiery trail I saw tonight marks a warriors farewell. Leaving behind another legacy of proud deeds to tell. A poem by George Mansford. Peter John Mc. Donald, 2.

Age 7. 4 years, passed away on Sunday 2 April. CROTCHBATPrimordial late 6. Detroit rock from SRC at the time thought of as the chief rival of the now much more reverently remembered MC5 but still a pile driving juggernaut of 6. This set collects the best of groups album tracks and singles cut for Capitol Records in 1. MC5 was born of adherence to blues and R B, but steeped mightily in heaving 6. The SRC was formed by Scott Richardson, the Chosen Few lead singer, with local band The Fugitives, which featured Glenn Quackenbush, Gary Quackenbush E. G. Clawson, all based in Ann Arbor. Jeep Holland, manager of The Rationals, became their manager and suggested Richardson as lead singer. Bass player Robin Dale was added later. Holland, also a record store manager, later served as Russ Gibbs booking agent and was associated with many of the top Detroit based artists of his time such as MC5, The Thyme, and others. The Quackenbush brothers went to see Richardson at one of the final Chosen Few gigs at the Ann Arbor Armory, run by Pete Andrews later SRCs manager. They formed the Scott Richard Case, later known as SRC. Upon the addition of Richardson, the original lineup included Scott Richardson vocals, Steve Lyman rhythm guitar and vocals, Gary Quackenbush lead guitar, Glenn Quackenbush organ, Robin Dale bass and vocals and E. G. Clawson drums. Richardson was influenced by the Pretty Things and based the SRC stage show on this. The band recorded its first single Whos that GirlIm So Glad, the latter a cover of a Skip James song, and released it to moderate reviews. However, fan reaction was good enough for the bands members to choose to drop out of Eastern Michigan University to work on their music, a risk at the time as draft eligible men were potentially subject to mandatory military duty in Vietnam. Soon the bands sound became more psychedelic, influenced by the likes of Procol Harum, for whom the band would later open. Their self titled debut album was released by Capitol Records, and the single Black SheepMorning Mood from this album drew fan and media praise. Black Sheep, considered a psychedelic masterpiece, was released only in mono for the single, as an abridged version with different guitar sound and notation. The album version, recorded in well blended as opposed to ping pong stereo, then still in use by some of the more limited recording studios in 1. Later verses continue in the mode of unusual lyrics in the vein of psychedelic quest, again followed by a second deliberate, stretched dual lead guitar break that fades ever so slowly into infinity. Marionette, Onesimpletask, and Refugeve offer additional examples of the expanded guitar and keyboard style developed by the Quackenbush brothers Gary guitar and Glenn Hammond organ, along with their musically adventurous bandmates. Plodding, articulate and heavy drums often complement the essence of the psychedelic realm depicted by the entire debut album.
