        Ooops, hazy memory here, was it Neal Schon and Mike 
        Shrieve, does that sound right?

        But still, compare to how many bands started out as prog 
        bands, not just Journey, how about: Split Enz, Horslips, 
        Genesis, Supertramp, ELO, even, arguably, Chicago. I'm 
        sure we can all think of many more. 
 
 WG> BTW, ever seen Grand Funk in concert? 
 
        I even had breakfast with them once at the Holiday Inn in 
        Binghampton, NY, round about 1970 or 71. They were nice 
        guys. I even sort of like that tune they did that tried 
        to sound like "21st Century Schizoid Man."

        You mean when Zappa produced them?

        I heard they were considering replacing Jerry Garcia with 
        Santana in the Dreadful Grate, man what a mismatch that 
        would have been. 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
