Toronto band TULPA was such a trip. Here we are at The Diamond Club in Toronto about 1987. John is singing one of our best songs called "Wolves". It's a pity we never had a good studio recording of this one. I think the bill we were on was with Lorraine Segato. Many thanks to the New Music

‘Cranked loud on a good stereo, ‘Somebody Help Me Now’ will hit you hard, right in the solar plexus. And if the down and dirty bass and guitar don’t get you, then Perry White's baritone sax, which enters the fray at the 2 1/2 minute mark, most certainly will.’
