Chase on the road August 1973

These are a few shots of the original band I joined with Jay Sollenberger and Jerry Van Blair on trumpets. Lynn Nicholson is also pictured on trumpet here but he had just replaced Carl Haefli (and his dog Vinnie). Nicholson soon was replaced by Byron Lingenfelder or Nelson Hatt. The rhythm section featured here was with Wally Yohn keyboards, Tony DeCaprio guitar, Tom Gordon drums and yours truly on a Fender P-bass with a leather pick guard hand carved by Gary Gray.
