Title: Grand Funk Railroad
Post by: Richard Opperman on August 10, 2007, 04:34:37 PM
Hi Bobby,

What a question! Yes, Grand Funk is included.

Do you remember a group called Gravy Train? Around at the time of Uriah Heep - made two LPs and then vanished off the scene. I managed to get hold of their first and best LP on CD called "Staircase To The Day" brilliant CD - try get hold of it in the UK.

I have attached the cover - very similar to the old Uriah Heep cover designs of the 70s (e.g. "Demons and Wizards" and others)

Keep well.
Kind regards
Richard + Debby

Hi Richard,

I cannot remember you so obviously the same will be that you will not know me. I have the same Gravy Train cd and yes, it is brilliant. I see that grand Funk Railroad have a live DVD out. Grand Funk brought out many a CD and really good stuff. Have you heard of Foghat? What about Poco? Yep, you are right, I am indeed a great music lover. I am the founder memeber of Bedrock (drummer). Please visit our website.

Best regards.

Hi Eddie,

Yes I think I do remember you, you are William's brother, William was in my std in primary school.
My brother Gary is about your age, do you remember him? He came back to Omund with his family in 1991 to 1995.

I will have a look for Grand Funk DVD. Foghat and Poco I have not heard of, but I have heard of your band "Bedrock" through Rainer Siebers who has mentioned you often, did you not also play at his 40th, sometime back I know?

I have visited your site and it is very informative, feel free to visit my webpage at www.amazipro.co.za

Thank you for making contact and it is good to get to know you again.

Kind regards
