Ethos was from, of all places, Terre Haute, Indiana. One of their 2 keyboard players, L(arry) Duncan Hammond (yes, Hammond is his real last name) lived in Madison before he auditioned for & got the gig w/Ethos & moved to Indiana. We knew each other from playing out on the same bill a few times (he had a keyboard driven cover band in Madison w/a Brian Auger vibe).
If you like "Open Up", their debut "Ardour" is considered by most, incl me, to be their best work. Check it out:).

reminds me of a joke:
I work in regulatory compliance and regulations and agencies are known by anagrams, such as BSA, FinCEN, TILA, TIS, Reg Z, CFPB, etc. So one day I was reviewing policies and was writing in the margins and was using texting abbreviations so it would not take up too much space. After making my notes and submitting them to executive management, I get a call from the administrative assistant to executive management, "We are confused over this one thing-what is AFAIK? We never heard of this regulation before!"
Me: "Um...As Far As I Know."
There was silence and then I heard laughing...
:lol:up
Here's a nice little tension releasing list we can all participate in, all contribute to.
Songs that have reached their shelf life, their sell by date.
Or, what I like to call songs that should be consigned to the scrapheap of history.
No requirement other than you're up to here/hear with this song.
I'll start.
Please. Please! No more YMCA by The Village People. I know, I know. There was a cute, little dance with letters and everything. But, it's got to go. Any further repetitions are just sonic self flagellation, musical masochism.
