...3 of the guys in Survivor.
Jim, Frank & Gary wrote it for them.
Interesting connections with Survivor for us.
My wife met Peterik when she was 15 & she was 18.
He gave her & her grind a ride home after a local gig they had with Ides of March. They were hanging out hoping it would stop raining & Jim & his girlfriend took pity on them. Especially when they found out they only lived a mile away.
I met Frank through a guitar player friend who was good friends with Frank. As a result, I also met Jim, Dave & Gary.
Gary played with Chase. A half-dozen years later, our band expanded our PA by buying some miderange cabinets & horns from the Bill Chase estate sale. So, we played through the sane soubd system Gary did!
In a different band, we played a double bill with Johnny Van Zant's band, and his brother Don was in .38 Special.
Lots of threads in those memories.
