And We’ll Have Fun, Fun, Fun, ’Til Daddy Takes The Stratocaster Away!!!

Faster than an overdub, able to leap tall decibels in a single twang, stronger than money — it's a band, it's a group, it's...it's BLAZE. Blaze is a new rock group, combining the talents of a group of 15 to 17-year-olds in the Birmingham/Bloomfield area. Big deal, right? But Blaze is a big deal, almost a corporate big deal.

If you wish to inquire about Blaze for your next rock party, sock hop or bar mitzvah, you will be casually led through Blaze's 14-page, offset-printed promotional package by thelrtsmoothtalking 15-year-old manager, Nelson Roberts. Considering that the Paul McCartney and Wings promo pack is only seven pages long, Blaze is not to be easily dismissed. Of interest to the more discerning party-giver is Blaze's list of informal equipment. A black Fender Telecaster Deluxe with two custom pick-ups, or if you prefer lighter shades, a white Fender Jaguar with mute. Maintaining a feline profile, there is an Elka Panther Duo. For your future listening enjoyment we have: i, bne Farfisa Mini-Compact, an El Carnival piano, a custom-finished Fender Precision Bass, a combination Slingerland-Ludwig Drum kit (ethnically i sound) featuring two bass, two floor toms, a snare, five upper toms, two molars, three incisors, Five, count em' five Kashian/Zyldjian cymbals, finally a Ludwig Hi-Hat (with cymbals) and two | cowbells and a four-foot gong. Items not mentioned are: tambourines, maracas, bongos, kalimba, claves, wood block, oudo and various whistles. These are Simply the instruments.
