MEETING RAY BENNETT FROM THE BAND FLASH

 I was living  in New York and someone by the name of Ray Bennett gave me a call. He told me he was from the band Flash which did not ring a bell. Days after that phone call I realize that I had seen that band which opened for Alice Cooper and I thought they were a good progessive band. I  visited him and we played some music together but most of the time he would tell me stories about the music business. One story that I found interesting was that the founding member of FLASH the former guitar player from the famous band YES Peter Banks had his picture on one of the YES albums and when he was replaced by Steve Howe they put Howes picture over the picture of Peter Banks. I thought that was strange. I brought one of my friends with me to meet Ray. The meeting went well. My friend then introduced me to the famous jazz flutist Jeremy Steig. But that is another story. Peace.
