Part One of an interview with singer, guitarist, writer of Orpheus. Between 1967 and 1969 this Boston-based soft-rock quartet recorded three well-received albums for MGM, but rose above the label’s hype of the so-called “Bosstown Sound,” a promotion conceived by producer Alan Lorber. The Orpheus lineup included singer/guitarists Bruce Arnold and Jack McKennes, originally a folk duo from Worcester called The Villagers, plus bassist Eric “The Snake” Gulliksen and drummer Harry Sandler.
