[Heeplist] Heeplist] Heeplist] UH singers

Tue Aug 5 21:19:35 EDT 2014

Guys,
You won't believe it!
Just got off work, cruising down the highway, listening to the KISM state
side rock station,
I usually don't listen to our rock stations in BC because they never play
Heep .
Some listener requested Stealin.
Ohh did it sound good on FM radio cranked.
Byron sounded awesome!

It is such a treat to hear Heep on FM radio, for me anyway.
I do enjoy the sound of Hensleys organ back then, it sounded more grittier.
Must be old school sound and technology.
I'm not going to beat the horse tonight regarding the discussion over
songwriting,
I might take a wack at it another time.
Guys, I will give credit to Ken for writing that one !
Don
