Greg, I am going to have another listen to Critical Mass/Wind on the Water, to see if I can hear something I have missed in the past. Like you, I think he is a very fine singer and his contribution to the vocal sound was definitely his most important role in a unique band. I think "Teach Your Children" is an agreeable song, and "Marrakesh Express" is an even more pleasant piece of sixties pop. I can't detect the sly wit of Steve Stills or the harmonic sophistication of David Crosby in any of his songs though. Credit to my compatriot for what he has achieved. All the same, I don't feel I am doing him an injustice by saying he has written lots of songs, which I do not need to hear a second time. That is not quite the same as slagging him off!
