Felix was the man. I rated him right up there with Jack Bruce. It so sucked that he was just shot down and allowed to bleed out by the vindictive bitch. She served a whopping three months in jail.

Boy could he play bass.

I was on a conference call a couple months ago with way too many "Michaels." I made some decisions for a guy in charge of another department. It's a running joke with us now. But the next call I was on I stated there are enough Michaels - I'll take a new name...

"What name?" I was asked. For some reason, I plucked "Felix" out of the air and I've been Felix ever since.

I remember Mountain very well,very powerful pair.West and Pappalardi.I can't get past the whole accident theory.

Mountain was my first ever true rock concert, 1971. They were frickin' loud with a wall of amps.

Wow Mike that's a hell of a first concert. Mine was 1971 too, Santana. My second was Pink Floyd.

The first concert was the best.1970 seen The Band in a small auditorium in Bloomington Ind.Then in 71 it was the Stones in Indy.

Mike had to have been great.Then came the collaboration of West,Bruce and Lang.

The Raquet Ball Club at the Sheraton in Hyannis. We were about 15 rows back, and I swear when the band started the first 5 rows of people got blown backwards by the sound!

No doubt felix was left deaf from his days of playing,of course a lot of musicians back then has been afflicted by this,including yours truly.
