On number 7, I'd guess Quicksilver Messenger Service. They did a pretty memorable jam recording of "Who Do You Love"

The guitarist had a real distinct style, I think he finger-picked with the vibrato bar always working. John Cippolina, I think.

[Guillam]

Oops, sorry, I didn't realize there were four pages of questions

[gus danger]

!No problem Guillam! You were correct, at any rate!

I was a big fan of Quicksilver and John Cippolina! Not sure how he played but I loved what he played!

Who Do You Love was the definitive version of that song. Though other bands covered it, no one did it justice like Quicksilver Messaenger Service did, imo!

Have a good one!

I've been lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce on Wink Dangerdale's next game but so far, no game. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

What's the deal Wink?
Inquiring wannabe contestants wanna know! [img]wink.gif[/img]

[gus danger]

Sorry for the delay Delvin. We, here at RGA, have been working on it but another project I've been working on has been taking more of my time than I had anticipated.

Stay tuned folks. Game #7 is on it's way!
