Richie Sambora merged with my life and career in an East Brunswick, New Jersey nightclub in late 1978. I was there with my trio which was Tom Marolda on bass and on drums was Steve Mosley. Then a miracle happened... Tom got food poisoning and could not come back to perform after our break. I jokingly addressed the audience: "Is there a bass player in the house? Mine is busy retching in the parking lot..." Admidst the laughter, an 18 year old Richie Sambora, sitting close to the stage, said: "I'm a guitar player... I've never even HELD a bass, but I'll give it a try..." There was something immediately likeable about him so I handed him Tom's bass. We played five or six songs and Richie was dreadful on bass, but every time he played a really bad note he looked up and gave the most endearing good natured laugh. When we finally gave up and called it a night, Richie said: "Hey, I know I was terrible on bass, but I can really play the guitar. I'd like to come back next week with my guitar and redeem myself." Something made me say an unprecedented "Okay." By the next week, I had totally forgotten about Richie, but he showed up mid way into the evening and took a beautiful Les Paul Custom guitar out of a case. I called Richie up for "a single song" so he knew he had just one shot to make good. I went into "Kansas City", a popular three chord tune that every musician knew. Richie's rhythm playing was good so I told him to take a solo. A small part of rock history was made at that moment when he confidently hit the toggle switch on his guitar to the solo setting. I expected him to hit a barrage of fast meaningless notes or a series of scales he had practiced at home to impress me. Instead, he hit a solitary note. He bent the string from a C up to a D with a sustained and beautiful vibrato that sounded like a fine violin. Before he even played the second note, I leaned into him and said: "You're in the band!" Well, a week later we were a quartet and Richie instantly became a true brother to all of us. I can probably say for the whole band that the next two years of music and camaraderie was the peak of unfettered roaring good times in our entire musical careers.

The Toms - Sun Another classic from N004, the Numero Group's flagship power pop comp. This was made by Tom Marolda, a studio rat and power pop one man band from the late 70s. I've hunted down the self-titled album by The Toms and there are riches galore there, but the two (now three) tracks on the Numero comp are just delicious. Ring modulator!
