tbrown 26 #2 January 29, 2016 Saw the Airplane in 1970 and the Starship in 1974. Paul wasn't the greatest singer, or guitarist. But he knew that and he picked the right people for both of those bands and wrote a lot of good songs. Neither band would have existed without him at the helm and both gave much joy to two or there generations. Another light has gone out. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Rickendiver 6 #6 February 2, 2016 They both had awesome voices. JA was more bluesy back in the day at Winterland https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEe8kROWjZU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
