My family and I do bgv and I play steel, sax and guitar for a local show of Caravan stars from a oldies station here in Jackson Tn. Just a chance to show off my Kline.

Cowsills Susan, Paul and Bob
Chuck Negron (Three Dog Night)
Dennis Tufano (The Buckinghams)
Peter Rivera (Rare Earth)

Lance Hoppen and I. Lance is the bass man for the band Orleans and is bandleader for the Caravan show. Top notch musician. Again look at that steel. So sweet.

Oh, I'm digging it too! That natural finish strikes me as rare among Klines - no?

One of the best guitars I have ever played. It's a S12 that I have set up Ext. E9. Light and easy to change the set up on. Probably my last steel but we all say that don't we.

I never could pass by a Buckinghams record in a store without buying it sooner or later.

There is a lot more to Dennis Tufano than the Buckinghams but I love that music also. He told the story on the Mike Douglas show right after the first hit they arrived to find a huge Union Jack on the background of the stage. They asked what's up with this and the producer said they thought they were brits. He said they all being from Chicago said "Forget about it"

Chuck, after all these years on The Forum, we finally get a glimpse of what you look like.
I'll bet that is a fun gig. To anyone who has played one, the Kline, of course, speaks for itself. Happy Trails, stevet

An old hippie with a steel guitar fetish. That's why I fit in on this forum. Lots of us here.

Hey! I resemble that remark. Former Kline player here too. Wish I had never sold it.

Nice pictures, Chuck. Must of been a fun gig. I really enjoyed (and played) all that 60's rock before the screaming guitars took over.

Thanks Larry. It was a blast.

Hey Chuck, Do you guys happen to have a video or two on You Tube?

Chuck McGill · Post by **Chuck McGill** » 30 Apr 2015 4:26 am

None of this show but some of my regular Friday gig here in town. I will get you some links.

Am I dating myself to say I saw The Buckinghams and Three Dog Night (and maybe Paul Revere and the Raiders, can't remember), live?

Nice pics and looks like a fun time.

Chuck McGill · Post by **Chuck McGill** » 30 Apr 2015 6:30 am

Good times Don.
