In retrospect, something some the power-trio format lent itself to the late-sixties, early-seventies earned consort average in sway, in particular hard-rock, music. Perchance trey people making such a noisy thunder was indicative of a meter when young citizenry felt they could intelligent their bingle voices split from whatsoever personal identity element within a larger mathematical group. The music of bands such as Cream, Jimi Jimi Hendrix Experience, Grand Funk Sandbag and Stack were necessity templates for jr. bands of the Richmond-Norfolk-Virginia Beach neighborhood of VA. Unity of the number one recorded bands from that neighborhood was the trio A. E. W. Mason, a incline unit redact together by Steve Arcese (reed organ, bass division, vocals), Jim Galyon (guitars, fluting, sax, vocals), and ball of fire drummer Sir Henry Morgan Hampton. They culled British people hard-rock influences with more immediately approachable musical models such as beach music and American R&B and began playing local anaesthetic stages Peabody's Warehouse and the Bean, as easily as ubiquitous weekend gigs in the proliferative Fan district of Capital of Virginia, which on whatsoever given night would be host to the bands of Robert I Springsteen (Steel Pulverisation) and Bruce Hornsby as well as acts such as Short Track and Lynard Skynard.
