As a native of the fine state of Missouri, I am embarrassed to have to admit I had never heard of these guys until I saw a Facebook post by an old high school buddy. Thanks to Steve Weiss for uncovering a missed opportunity for me.
Back in 1983 the band "Steve, Bob and Rich" burst onto the scene. Pretty cool name, eh? By '86 they had added a drummer and released their first album which Newsweek magazine called "the most auspicious debut album of the year". I guess not reading Newsweek explains how I missed this one. Here's one from that album.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65oq2C4PJmA&feature=related
Here was a shocker for me - filmed at the Backstage in Ballard - which is actuall Seattle - in 1988. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPWnNDFbv74&feature=related
But fast foward to today...here is a soon to be classic tune - enjoy!

I didn't know about these guys before I attended a house concert in reeds spring, mo last week. I left MO in '76 before they came on the scene (and just moved back...for awhile). We all should be glad that they are back. Get a copy of their lastest CD "25 On"....you will be glad you did.
