POST-FRUUPP:  Stephen Houston has had an interesting life since leaving Fruupp.  Get the full scoop on the Trivia Page of his
web site:  "Did you know that Fruupp's biggest gig was at the Empire Pool Wembley, London with Hawkwind! Did you know that Queen played support to Fruupp! Yes 1974 at the Corn Exchange in Aylesbury, England., and it was no wee gigue either. Did you know that Genesis, with Phil Collins now the singer, ended their concert in Columbia Md., 1977 with a version of 'The Irish Washerwoman' and a unified shout of 'Hi Steve',  when they heard that Houston was in the audience! Did you know the Seymour Stein (Sire Records & Madonna's Manager) contacted Houston after he'd left Fruupp, wanting Houston to move to NY., and Stein would manage the new Houston band! Stein was still talking to Houston about it as late as 1984. Too Late, he'd been to Seminary and was pastor of growing church! You really are illuminated now by knowing this stuff, aren't you?"  For more on his ministry in
