Happy Birthday to John Kay (of Steppenwolf)!

[AlwaysWrite]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to John Kay, born Joachim Fritz Krauledat in Tilsit, East Germany, 80 years ago (on April 12, 1944). He was a German-Canadian singer and rock guitarist, and he was the frontman of the Los Angeles quintet Steppenwolf. Here, the band performs their big 1969 hit, "Magic Carpet Ride" ...

Gotta love that 381 John Kay Signature Rickenbacker, though! Never played one, but I did have the McGuinn model 370-12
