Tim Dulaine - napisał :

"...Hello there! I am grateful that anyone even remembers that band..  the Clouds were formed 1965. The band members were Brent waters (bass), Alan Wauters (guitar and vocals), Danny CaseyDrums and vocals) and me on guitar and vocals. Yes I think we recorded a few other songs. We performed in Houston at La Maison, The Catacombs, The Love Street Light Circus Feel Good Machine, The Cafe Wha? New York as well as the Cheetah club. We played Central Park with The Animals..The Cloud broke top in NYC.We also changed bass players in Houston to include Randy Palmer. He went to NYC with us.The reason for the change was that Brent did not sing. Danny and Randy went on the Play with Jimi Hendrix in "The Blue Flames" Danny and Jimi shared an apt & lived in the apartment below me on East 5h street in the east village. We all become close friends with Jimi at that time. Danny and I were playing together in Houston a year or so later when Hendrix came in concert in an area.We met him backstage and watched the show. He was very very excited to see his old band mate. Danny and Randy did not join the Experience because they were of Draft age here in Texas ... ".
