Hey guys i was listing to xm last night and heard a tune from a band called happy the man! Thought it seemed cool. Who are these people and any good cds to get? Arent they from the 70s or so?

Happy the Man! Yeah they're a very cool band from the mid to late seventies and I believe a new version of the band is touring and recording again.

If your looking to buy, I'd get the two original line-up releases,
"Happy the Man" and "Crafty Hands" from '77 & '78, definitely at their original creative peak.

They also have a website. http://www.happytheman.com

Also check out Kit Watkins, the original keyboard player. Who has a solo career now.

Cool
