Thanks for posting.  Oregon was amazing, and just a few weeks ago I was listening to some of Towner's more recent music.

I was a fan of Mr. Towner. In the mid-seventies he opened my mind to so many musical portals that I had yet not ventured.

One of my favorite concerts of all time in of all places, Springfield, MA, was Ralph Towner and Oregon, Chic Corea and RTF, and Santana. IMHO Oregon, the opening act, blew them all away
