Anyone else feel that John Cippolina was a great rock guitarist?

Such a distinctive sound - the Quicksilver Messenger Service version of "Who Do You Love" epitomized 60's Haight-Ashbury rock.

Wonder why that band never really made it?

1. top 40 radio format kept them underground

I was a big fan back in the day.

2. he was unusual - no doubt of that

Other than the simple solo from "Pride of Man"
I think he was pretty unmemorable.
"Cavalry" was interesting but really comes down to a bunch
of nothing.
