Tatrum. Plus What is Wrong with Today's Digital Music Format

Tatrum...OK, it's a classic late '70's album cover photo.  Guys are pouting,  highwaisted tight pants on the guys - who are pouting.  Glas in aggressive poses - what's not to like?  This 7-member (really - that many?) rock group made just two albums, both on the Ovation label.  From Chicago, the had three female singers:
Pam Bradley, Sandy Caulfield, and Barb Erber. Plus guitarist Ray Sapko, keyboardist Phil Balsano, bass guitarist Bill Syniar (later in Surivior), and drummer Vern Wennerstrom.

I read today that Amazon is "excited to introduce Amazon Cloud Drive, Amazon Cloud Player for Web, and Amazon Cloud Player for Android. Together, these services enable customers to securely store music in the cloud and play it on any Mac, PC, or Android device wherever they are. All customers start with 5 GB of free storage, and all Amazon MP3 purchases saved to Cloud Drive are stored for free. Right now, customers can upgrade to the 20 GB storage tier for free with the purchase of an Amazon MP3 album."  Cloud this.  I could not care less.  That news is exactly why vinyl will remain viable and vibrant.  Go back and read what Jon Bon Jovi said about how Steve Jobs has killed music.
