Bruce, thank you, thank you for helping out with gathering Skylark info. Now we all know a little more about the greatest bass guitarist in the U.S. (Of course Chris Squire still has that title in England). Now then, which band member do we pick next to have out deep, dark questions revealed about? How about an easy one this time? Torrey, you go next. Pick your favorite Doobie and ask some burning questions. Shoot, Laurin and I may even know some of the answers this time. Thanks again Bruce.
