Timothy B. Schmit (later to join the Eagles) on lead vocal and bass, Rusty Young on the pedal steel that sounds like a Hammond organ, George Grantham on drums and backing vocals, Paul Cotton playing guitar and backing vocals. Fun fact, Tim Schmit joined Poco after, you guessed it, Randy Meisner left the band after the first album.

    Such a great song. Taps into the zeitgeist at the time. Kung Fu with David Carradine was on TV. Bruce Lee movies were showing in theaters. There was even a popular aftershave called “Hai Karate”.

    Read a funny article about Boston. There was no band Boston. It was Tom Scholz in his basement. After selling the demo tape to a record company he had to invent a band because the record company expected a band. And they demanded to remaster with a professional producer. But Scholz had his equipment in his basement and didn't know anything about a professional studio. So they hired him a producer and he ignored it and worked by himself in his basement.
