Here's a great story from drummer Chris Quattrocchi:
The
Agents ( formerly " Cobra" ) were one of Continental's busier bands circa
1979-1981. This original lineup from left to right includes Dan Unger-guitar,
Chris Quattrocchi-drums, Janie Naegeli-vocals, and Roger Moore-bass. This band
was once vehemently chastised during a break by an Illinois club owner for
putting a drum solo in the Led Zeppelin song, " Moby Dick ", not realizing that
was how it was recorded. He didn't want his thirsty, dancing patrons stopping
to watch the drummer. He made a fool of himself, but was still upset. That was
a cringe-worthy gig on any band's schedule - Captain Jack's, Litchfield, IL,
11:00 - 3:00 a.m. and you had to play both Friday AND Saturday nights! There
was always a guy there that would check your musicians union card to see if your
dues were paid up. Some of the real glory of being a professional musician.
