About Me

"Cocktail" had its day in the California sun back in the '70s. No one could have asked for a better bunch of "Jolie" loving music fanatics. On fire onstage, hot in the "Swingin' Dave" studio garage... lots of Heinekin and French cigarettes fueled these boys into the wee hours of nightly practice sessions... Had some solid gigs, including, a live radio broadcast with several members of "The Firesign Theatre" (1976).These four "Cocktail" lads remain pals to this day. That can't be said for too many 15 minutes of fame bands... "No doubt about it." Hope you enjoy the music of "Cocktail!"Give 'em a comment kiss, anytime.
