from Educated Homegrown.


Chris Brubeck graduated from IAA the year before me, but his brother and sister were in my class. After graduation, the band gave a open-air concert on the shore of Lake Michigan, and I was hooked.

Just about everybody who knew the Brubeck family was familiar with all the talent. Chris & Company put together another album after this one, but this one has strong nostalgic memories for those of us who wore out the grooves in 1970, playing it continuously.

There's not a bad track on the record, and thank goodness it's available on YouTube in its entirety.
