A Good Time To Gamble - Rudy T.

Band History: Rudy T began his music career playing from Youngstown, Ohio to Geneva on the Lake in Cleveland Ohio with Spontaneous Combustion Band back in the late 60's .He on lead guitar and his brother Jim on drums, Joe Molinari on Bass, Chuck Yohman on rhythm and Jim Pierce on vocals, all from Niles Ohio I think. I met them at a local watering hole called the Freak Out in McKinley Heights Ohio Back in 1967 or there about and ended up working their lights for them on some gigs; we had some fun up in Geneva for sure. I ended up Learning to play drums from Jim and still play them occasionally but with less fervor then I once did. They were a great band! What a Magical time to be alive. I tracked down Rudy T by googling him and found some videos, which he gave me permission to post on Youtube. Last I talked to him until recently was 40 years ago back in 1968 before he moved to California. 40 years ago! And here he is Better than ever.
