Hi TomS:

I remember the name BoxTops…
However, it never became known to me who the stage members were or any of the music history they created…
I didn’t see anywhere what it was that took him…

Alex Chilton’s early 70s band Big Star made three of the greatest and most important guitar pop records ever. #1 Record, Radio City, and Sister Lovers. The first two have the quintessential strat sound.

On another sad note, and this one personal, the police found my cousin dead in his apartment on the same day. He was a talented musician, and was 33.
