Ruth Crockett at the Dual Keyboards   His Records Label (In Stereo of course)

Aside:   My family lived in Cleveland throughout the 1970’s.   The song “Funky Poodle” was written and performed by Steve Jochum in 1980 as a member of The Wild Horses.   The band, which formed at Ohio State in the mid-seventies , started out covering Rolling Stones songs (duh) and was voted the Number 1 band   in the Cleveland Area for 5 years.   The song is on the soundtrack of the 2006 movie “You, Me and Dupree” starring Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson.
