According to Danny, the other band members are fans of the J. Geils Band was not touring, and it seems as if no one was playing that music вЂ“ consequently a Geils repertory with an actual Geils founding member was perfect solution.

Geils Band.В Keep tabs on Danny via his website: ДЄt the time he started Full House, the J. Geils Band reunion, and heвЂ™s still working the clubs in the New England area as band leader of Danny KleinвЂ™s Full House, celebrating the music of the J. In the 21st Century, Danny Klein never misses a J. Danny and Pino decided to start their own Blues/r&b band вЂ“ Stonecrazy, which had a ten-year run. He played on her 1994 release entitled Loose Tonight. Danny went on the road for a couple of years with Debbie, touring the United State and Europe. Ken had played with Johnny Copeland for ten years, and got Danny a gig playing with Blues guitarist, Debbie Davies. At some of the shows, PinoвЂ™s guitarist brother, Ken, would join them on stage. One of the guys he played with was Babe Pino on harp.

While living in Fitchburg, he got the itch to play again and he started playing a few local gigs. He attended culinary school in Cambridge, and became a Chef in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. When the J Geils Band came to a halt in 1984, Danny left music for about ten years. Geils band backed Buddy Guy and Junior Wells on two tracks for their Plays The Blues release in 1972: вЂњThis Old FoolвЂќ and вЂњHoneydripper.вЂќДЄs these were two of his heroes who he had seen play many times, and had covered a number of their songs, Danny was sweating bullets to be in the same room with these guys, let alone record with them, but it worked out great. Geils Band was formed.В Seth Justman was added on keys about a year later.ДЄnd the rest as they say, is historyвЂ¦ which continues to this day!Дanny and the J. They joined forces with Danny, Jay and Magic Dick, and the J. Around that time, vocalist Peter Wolf, and drummer Stephen Jo Bladd were in the process of leaving their band, The Hallucinations. At that point Jay was playing an acoustic guitar.ДЄs the band started playing more blues, Jay gravitated to electric guitar, and Danny graduated from washtub bass to a rented Harmony bass, that, according to Danny вЂњhad a neck that looked like a roller coaster.вЂќ Although he is left-handed, due to a lack of financial resources, he played a right-handed bass.ДЄ field trip to New York City in 1966 to see Muddy Waters sealed the deal for Danny-he quit school and immersed himself in music. Danny chose the former вЂ“ and his first instrument was a washtub bass at the age of 21. Jay asked Danny, who did not play an instrument, whether he wanted to play bass or drums. It was there that he met John Geils (вЂњJayвЂќ) and Richard Salwitz, aka вЂњMagic Dick.вЂќ With the folk era starting to boom, they formed a jug band. Klein attended Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts in 1964, studying Chemical Engineering. But at that time, in the вЂ™60s, it started to cross overвЂ¦also there were showsВ out of the BronxвЂ¦goinвЂ™ on at nightвЂ¦theyвЂ™d play some really funky stuff and bluesвЂ¦so thatвЂ™s basically how I got it.

вЂњ New York AM radio, a whole lot of R&B, Otis and the Supremes, the Motown thing, the Memphis thing, and the New York thing, and all that, a lot of R&B in those days, a lot of black stuffвЂ¦I guess before that like in the вЂ™50s youвЂ™d never hear that, the original artists doing the music, youвЂ™d hear Patti Page covers, you know that kind of thing.

Geils Band.Д«orn in New York City, and raised in New Jersey, the Kleins were not a musical family вЂ“ in fact, there was not a record player in the household until his sister purchased one!ДannyвЂ™s musical education came from listening to AM radio where he soaked up Motown and Memphis Soul, and a lot of rhythm and blues and Blues coming from New York. Revered as the вЂњAce of BassвЂќ вЂ“ Danny KleinвЂ™s passion for rhythm & blues, jazz, pop, soul, Motown, and British Invasion formed the foundation for AmericaвЂ™s greatest bar band вЂ“ the mighty J. But I guarantee you it didn't change the band's.вЂњBecause this is the Wooba Gooba sayinвЂ™ to ya love comes once and when it comes you better grab it fast вЂcuz sometimes the love you grab ainвЂ™t gonna lastвЂ¦вЂќ If you're discovering the great audience these days it might even change your life for a month.

Geils Band: Freeze-Frame ДЇor me, their best since Monkey Island if not the debut divides neatly into three groups of three: slick get-me-off trash (hit single plus two music-as-escape songs), slick get-'em-off trash (opener, closer, and 'Angel in Blue,' a whore with a heart of brass that I'm just a sucker for), and slick get-offa-me trash (two throwaways at the end of side one plus 'River Blindness,' a more pretentious try at 'Monkey Island,' that album's sole bumout).
