In seeking out some tracks and an entire album by Jefferson Airplane last night, I came across an album by another SF band I’d always heard about but never heard, Sons of Champlin. The album I stumbled across is called Follow Your Heart. After checking it out last night, I’m tempted to say that I’ve finally found a SF band I can sink my teeth into: really soulful singing, nice ensemble playing, little of the melodrama that has always bogged me down with Jefferson Airplane. Along with the title track, I was impressed by “Children Know”, “Before You Right Now”, “Hey Children”, and “Child Continued”.
I encourage you to hang in there with this video.
Hey Moderator,
Now THAT was funny.
Locating that stinker was well worth the time and effort. Real quick question: how DOES one stumble upon something that awful?
Hope to hear from you soon,

. . . .And I’m serious here, I want the details -everything you were doing and thinking that eventually led you to the YouTube search for that piece of Godonlyknowswhat.
Hope to hear from you soon,

It was easy. I’ll let you all in on a little secret: go to YouTube’s search window and type in “Sons of Champlin.” This clip really made me appreciate Townsman Hrrundi’s disdain for hippies.
Well, okay, I watched it. But why did I watch it? And why did you put it up here? Why why why?
Video highlght: the sign language dude!
Seriously, all the Kantner/Balin/Casady needs to achieve true, uh, greatness is Clarence Clemons on the sax. Beauty!
Isn’t that what causes the warning on Viagra bottles about “erections that last four hours or more?”
that was some unbelievable footage there. just… unbelievable. actually i was waiting for some kind of ad to pop up and for the announcer to say “mmmmh… let me have some of that”
Thank you for posting the clip of my long-running TV Show The Jon Hammond Show (this is Jon Hammond in New York City).
We are now in our 24th year and my daily radio show HammondCast is on out in the Bay Area every day of the week at 4AM on 1550 AM if anybody out there in the Bay Area should happen to read this. I am an organist bandleader, maybe a few folks out there remember me from my shows at Fillmore and Shoreline Ampitheatre. We used to be on Viacom 36 in Marin County and Viacom Ch. 25 SF for many years.
cya’, Jon Hammond
