Jon Ludtke in 1976

“Couldn’t I Just Tell You”

As I have said before, Todd Rundgren was and still is one of Ken’s favorite musicians. Therefore, we did several of his tunes in our show. Here is Jon singing lead with Ken, Paul and I singing harmonies and backup vocals.

Quite honestly, I believe the bass part on this song inspired my bass line for Ken’s song, “Don’t Want To Lose” on our second album.
