In-A-Godda-Da-Vida

North Florida · Jul 22, 2006

Was on boot liberty from Glakes NTC in '69. Took a bus to Lake Geneva Wisconsin for an Iron Butterfly concert. They played a 45 minute version of In-a-gadda-da-vida..woulda gone longer but one of the amps blew. Wasn't especially a fan of that kinda music, but the concert was free, and with an income of $103/month, that was important.

Ride long and safe..listening to your kinda music...mine is a strange mix.

One of the guys we ride with was in California at that time and was playing bass in a band. They were playing at a club one night as the front band for a group called Iron Butterfly. After their set, Iron Butterfly came up to him and said they were doing a new song tonight and their bass player was stoned - out cold - in the dressing room and wondered if he could play bass for them. They said the bass line was pretty simple, and all he had to do was repeat it for 45 minutes. So to make a long story short, he played with Iron Butterfly the first time they played the song live. I know him well and he would not make a tale up about this.

My wife said the Wolfman was on WRAF as she recalls. (She grew up in the "DAY-TWAH" area).

Now back to the Garden of Vida...

Iron Butterfly

I imagine the station was 93.7 they say they have the largest selection of classic rock in the area and at half past every hour they play 3 "seldom heard album cuts". Lots of times they take requests and get some real intresting old songs requested. I have the full version on the IPOD.
