As Season 3 comes to a close, Erv welcomes former frontman from the band ‘Smile’, Tim Staffell for a chat about his work with the band, which later was fronted by Freddie Bulsara, who changed his name to Mercury, and the band’s name to ‘Queen’....and the rest, as they say, is history! Tim was an incredible guest, and we had a great discussion about his baptism into the Blues, his work with an earlier band with Brian May (1984), supporting Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix, and where he thought Hendrix might have progressed to, had he lived. It’s been another fantastic Season, friends.  We are looking forward to January, when Season 4 takes flight.
