Savoy Brown 1980-81 |
|
In
September of 1980 I auditioned and got the gig with Kim Simmonds' Savoy
Brown. The lineup included Ralph Mormon on vocals, Barry Paul on guitar
and Keith Boyce on drums. It was a trip to find myself in a band I’d
been such a fan of as a teenager. Our sound was a little harder edged.
We were managed by Ira
Blacker and recorded two albums together, Rock ‘n’ Roll
Warriors and Greatest Hits Live, before I got fired late in 1981. I’d
say the high point in the gig for me was opening for Judas Priest on
a 25 date US arena tour. I’d wanted to be an arena rocker since
I was 13 and here I was doing it at 24. But honestly, it wasn’t
all I’d hoped, mainly because I wasn’t getting my tunes into
the set. When Kim fired me for insubordination (wanting to get paid)
I started work on an arena rock project
of my own. Joe
Cardosi road managed. With Andre McDougal, Jimmy Sickler and Frank
Vincent crewing.
