Thanks, Andy! A little more challenging, this time, precisely because there wasn't as much press about them at the time (which then ends up on the internet), with their lack of airplay and "famousness"!
Had this been Journey, or some such, there'd be three full internets full of copy from which to cull! Plus, the threads of the "ultimately famous" who passed thru the band for 5 minutes at a time made it a tad tougher, too! Anyway, I gave a voice-over a try, but it sounded too disjointed, as I had a lot of info as photo captions.
Thanks for braving being the first to leave a comment for this one! You get to be the first to hear that the Tune Tag with Kevin drops tomorrow (Thurs 10/5) at 7am CT......shhhhh, don't tell anyone!😉
Just got FB DM-ed by a former Byzantium! He loves the article (he corrected me on a couple of facts I found elsewhere.....I changed them, of course, in my piece), and will be posting it, soon, on the FB Byzantium fan page! https://www.facebook.com/byzantiumgroup
Meantime, here's a live (South Park, Oxford) Byzantium song from 1974, "It's a Small World": https://fb.watch/ntDR6Y7rZT/
Thanks for the track! Sounds like something my dad would enjoy (he and you seem to have very similar taste in music!) so I’ll make sure I share it with him!
Absolutely! And I would show off my live interpreting skills 😄 (which are probably a bit rusty now... well, not the skills... my spoken Spanish! 🤪 fancy that!)
Great writing! Loved how you take us on a journey to discover a band and record which (predictably) I didn’t know about. Thanks!

That’s amazing, Brad. Even more impressive considering how little info there is on them. Brilliant digging skills!
Wow, thanks for the heads-up! Really looking forward to it. Duel of the Titans!

Enjoy......this, and tomorrow's Tune Tag!
You keep going up, my friend! Very well deserved.

Cool......along with you, I'd love to meet your dad someday! Oh, the stories we could share!
