HE HUNG UP HIS JOCK.
Five years ago Alan Abrahams was the only British track star at a small southern school. But Alan had straggly hair and liked hip music, and his small southern school hated both.
So he went from jock to rock and split to New York.
His first gig was at the Metropole, but Alan was lost in the topless shuffle on stage.
And then a brassy producer convinced him to teach some kid from Pittsburgh to speak "English" and called them "Lord Alan and Sir Richard." Yeech.
It seemed like Alan would never play and sing the music he really wanted.
But then he met Bill Peters who played lead guitar. And Gary Van Scyoc who played bass and trumpet. And Adam Ippolitto who played keyboard, trumpet and tuba. And Marty Fogel who played sax. And Paul Squire who played trumpet and other miscellaneous brass.
And he put them all together to play Blues, Rock and Jazz and called them Pig Iron.
Pig Iron is a new group on Columbia Records. Give them some support.
