Everyone knows it's Windy...

Hello, friends!

Few of you probably know who Larry Ramos is.  In fact, I had to spend about 10 minutes on Google trying to make sure that Larry was the guy who I thought he was (it turns out that he was).  But Larry Ramos is a bit of a hero of mine.  You see, Larry is the Asian American guitar player for the Association, the maker of such hits like "Cherish" and "Windy." 

I was thinking about Larry because it was quite windy yesterday and biking around was a bit of an ordeal.  (I had the song Windy) stuck in my head.  Larry is my hero because as far as I can tell, he's the first Asian American rock star. 

I can't remember exactly what it was that I was watching, it was probably one of those Time-Life infomercials where they try to send you 150 of the greatest hits of all time on 12 compact discs for the low price of $3.3 trillion or something like that.  They always do clips of live performances to go along with the clips of the songs they are playing and I remember being in shock when I saw Larry there.  There was an Asian American guy, rocking a suit (as was the style at the time) playing his guitar and being a real part of a real band that really had some hits.  All this was back in the 60's too. 

So, here's to you, Larry Ramos!  You're an inspiration to us all!
