Never played with the Rhythm Kings; but I did sit in with the Radio Kings in the mid 90's when they played a gig in Charlotte and their bass player had to return to Boston.

Just came across this and remembered this thread.  Maybe 1971?  Guild Starfire, I think (with a coiled cord!).  Would have been a few years before I learned about Alembic.  And it looks like I'm reading music.  Ha!  I developed my commanding stage presence early on.

A horn band in 1971; covers of Chicago, Ides of March, and BS&T?

You are correct sir.  Also some Spirit, Jethro Tull, Ars Nova, and a bunch of original music that sounded a lot like the above.  Ha!
Mark, that is a most excellent picture!!

Mark wins!
Bonus points if your band played My Sharona.
8-D
 
I'm guessing that was high school and you had a gaggle of groupies for sure.

The Knack was a great band!!!  The songs were well crafted and always a little dirty: (...And she makes you want to scream, Wishing you could get inside her pants...). HA!!!  That guitar solo in My Sharona is insane!!!

Yea we did My Sharona. I'm thinking I was playing Let's Go by the cars here. We also had a great female singer so we managed to do some Pat Benatar,Joan Jett, and The Go Go's. Fun Times!

Oh, the eighties and the mullets we had...
 
ps.: your guitarrist needs a haircut (at his chest)
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!
