Three Dog Night - A Trip to the Past

This is a birthday present from my oldest son. I have never asked for a thing from my kids for birthdays, etc. - but this year was different. I am going to take a trip back to my past and visit some memories from my teenage years, thanks to my son. I never got the chance to see Three Dog Night in concert. Now over 30 plus years later and having fondly worn out the old LP records I had collected from my babysitting money (I changed many a dirty diaper and wiped up many a baby burp'em to accomplish that) I am going to indulge in a childhood dream.

OK, it may not be quite the same dream I had as a youth. We are all showing signs of wear and tear, wrinkles and gray hair - but it can't be any sweeter than this. We can appreciate we are still here and loving it.

Of the original members, Cory Wells and Danny Hutton on lead vocals, as well as original keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon and guitarist Michael Allsup are still with the group. Paul Kingery (bass and vocals) and Pat Bautz (drums) complete the lineup.
