Killing Floor band, 1969

Killing Floor.jpg

Everyone needs inspiration. My brother had a party in the late 60's in our parents basement with a band made up of some friends of his called “The Killing Floor.” (a great band) The members were Bruce Miller on lead vocals, Scott Bolin on keyboards, Tom Wolfe on guitar, Mike Roberts on bass, and Dinky Roberts on drums. (Sadly, Dinky died in his sleep before graduating from Minnetonka High School)

Learning tunes off albums note for note, riff for riff is a real gift, and they had it in a big way. Watching them perform Blue-eyed soul tunes really jacked me up to play professionally. 

The song you're listening to, is representative of that musical bag that a lot of us love. Written and performed by Dove-winner and good friend, Bryan Duncan. www.bryand.com is his web site. Here's some video's worth checking out:
