Music stuff: Question about the Mahavishnu Orchestra...
I bought the album "Birds of Fire" (very cool) recently, and on the back of the case, it says all 5 members were from different countries. I know John McLaughlin is from England, and Billy Cobham(drums) was born in Panama and moved to the US at an early age. Where were the other 3 guys from? Anyone know?


Peace,

1. You've stumped me.
Been a fan for thirty years, but I'll be damned if I know. I love that album. My absolute favorite of all time.

Jerry Goodman is American and yes, Jan Hammer is Czech. I thought Rick Laird was Irish?
