Why this name?
In 1968 we thought it was a great name for the times plus we used 5 mirror balls as part of an elaborate light show. We still use the light show as part of our hippie party show.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
yes..for the better! It gives everyone an equal shot based on talent and marketing skills.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I feel major labels today are more distributors.. after an act or band has a solid, devoted fan base and drawing power. I think it's more about, having an exciting show, a good agent, marketing, connections and hard work! The Indies, the agent and the act have to work as a promotion team. I compare it (tongue in cheek) to campaigning for president.. I have relatives that are on a major label and their band makes $100 a nite plus a percentage of the door. They live out of their vans on the road. I admire their youth, energy and devotion to their music. I remember those "dues-paying" days all too well. I've been very blessed with song placements on vh1, abc, tnn, a&e tv shows.
I measure success as "being married to a wonderful girl for 39 years, surviving spinal surgery, and my youthful stupidity when many others, I've loved, respected and performed with during my musical career, have passed on. Knowing God, my place in His plan, the reason for being here.. doing my best to walk a decent path and leave behind some honorable, helpful and loving footprints like my parents did."
