As normal for me out of nowhere I started singing a song, "It's Nature's Way."
My wife didn't recognized the lyrics so I dug up this live version from 1990.
That was about a month back, I've been mining Randy and associates since.
Spirit should have been much more successful than they were.

While still a teen Randy got the name "California" from Jimi Hendrix.
Two Randy's in the band with Hendrix. Randy Palmer from Texas And Randy Wolfe from California. Hendrix gives you a name and you run with it.
On a side note, I side with Randy on the Taurus/Stairway To Heaven debate. Using other peoples stuff was definitely not uncommon for Zeppelin.
