Yeah, Randy was something like 15 years old when he was kickin' it with Jimmy James and the Blue Flame. Jimmy wanted to take him to England to work on his new project called The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Randy's mother nixed the idea, so, he started a band with his step dad (Ed Cassidy) who was already a very famous, in-demand, jazz drummer in NYC at the time. I think the two of them created a much larger catalog of timeless music than he ever would have with Hendrix.
