King, Grand Funk Railroad, Mother Earth, Rare Earth, The Turtles, Ohio Express, The 1910 Fruitgum Co., The Buckinghams, Sir Douglas Quintet, Blackoak Arkansas, Bob Seger. The list goes on and I just can’t remember all of the wonderful and talented artists who we met while on the road. And if you came to Texas, you played with " The Puppy".In a recent interview with Roy Cox, " In my opinion, we were four of the most talented and dedicated musicians the world had to offer. I have never since and neither will I ever again experience that type of bonding with other human beings. We all wanted the same thing - to be a Rock and Roll player. And for two wonderfully creative years, we did just that. No one on this planet could have been more dedicated to the cause than "The Bubble Puppy".And Rod Prince adds, "our fans were and are the most loyal of all the music lovers of the late '60's and early '70's. God love 'em, they could be brutal at times. I truly didn't understand the depth of passion these folk felt toward the Puppy. We were their band, with our global Hot Smokin' Sassafras!!
