In this episode of RPM45, I get to indulge my inner "Chicago guy” talking with Ronnie Rice of New Colony Six…one of a number of great Chicago bands of the late ’60s. Ronnie was the writer and lead singer of the group’s two biggest hits – “I Will Always Think About You” and “Things I’d Like to Say.”  He's a funny guy and I had a great time talking with him...lots of laughs! Also note (if you've listened to other episodes) that my Chicago accent comes through a lot stronger with this one, just by talking with Ronnie!

Among the things we discuss are:

• The great rock scene that Chicago had back in the late '60s.
• The NC6's transition from garage band to success with mainstream ballads.
• Why the slow roll-out of the group's biggest hits hurt their chart performance.
• Why he continues to play and loves it!
