WOW what a great story about James Gang and the origination of the name. Here's another interesting story. When we saw Pure Prairie League at Schmidt I believe they opened for Spirit and Dave Mason (a 3 act card that night). At the time the band, PPL, was living only about a block away from Schmidt in one of the large mansions up Dana Ave.

I used to work with a woman who said when she was in her twenties she lived in a big house at the bottom of Straight Street (closer to UC) with a few members of Pure Prairie League and that Craig Fuller was courting her to marry. She didn't want to marry him then for some reason (I forget if she said), although she really liked him and he would look her up whenever he stopped by in the area. Not positive, but I think I heard that house belonged to Stan Herzman who went on to manage artists like The Raisins and Adrian Belew, as well as be a franchisee with UNOs.
I'm not sure if he still does, but Dave Mason was living in NKY for several years, marrying someone I think from Ft. Thomas.
