Local music angle

[Finch Platte]

Once again, I was perusing the fifty-cent bin at Rasputin's, and pulled out a disc called Doc Kupka presents: Strokeland Superband. Weird kind of title, but it looked bluesy, so I opened it & read the credits. Holy crap, all sorts of big names on it, but the one that really caught my eye was David Garibaldi on drums (Tower Of Power). Yesss. A little more reading revealed these characters: Huey Lewis, vocals/harmonica, Mickey Thomas & Bill Champlain, vocals, and sh!tloads of familiar names on horns. Score! Then I read further, and it was produced by an old high school chum of mine, Rick Duncan at Nacnud Studios in Lodi, CA, a short drive up the road. I knew he had a studio, but hadn't seen anything he'd put out for a while.

Sounds good, Rick! This is one funky disc, if anyone's interested.


Anyone care to enlighten me who Doc Kupka is? ToP alumn?

Well Strokeland seems to be your kind of place

Yeah, maybe it should have been SuperHand, eh?

you will most definitely need your Stainmaster to deal with it either way
