211 Styx
A favourite band of many of our audience, much bigger in the US than Europe, and one I had never heard before…. in mitigation, I’m a sort-of-reformed jazz fan, via fusion and prog rock, so I’m approaching this sort of thing from a different direction. Edison let slip that, not only was a fan, but that in 1979 he was asked to try out for the band, when Dennis de Young temporarily left after the disagreement following “Babe”… A missed opportunity, or a lucky escape, perhaps.
